Things become a little more complex in systems with a subwoofer.
For example, the system will generally not redirect bass informa-
tion away from a LARGE speaker to the subwoofer. Thus, the de- cision you need to make when confronted with a choice of LARGE or SMALL is whether or not you want the particular speaker to play the deep bass information or whether your would prefer that the deep bass information be sent to the subwoofer. If you have invested in a robust subwoofer for your system, you might very well decide to send all of the bass to it, regardless of how capable the other speakers in the system may be. In this case, you would tell the
An alternative configuration for setting up front SMALL speakers with a subwoofer would be to follow the speaker manufacturer’s instructions, wiring the SMALL speakers to the subwoofer’s crossover and then connecting the subwoofer directly to the front speaker connection terminals. In this arrangement, the speakers would be classified as LARGE and the subwoofer setting would be OFF for all surround modes. No information will be lost during playback because the system knows to redirect the bass informa- tion to the front LARGE speakers. This configuration may be opti- mal for many users as it can improve the way the bass integrates into the listening room and ensure correct satellite speaker op- eration by using the speaker manufacturer’s own crossovers.
The following speaker options are available:
FRONT SPEAKERS (small/large): This menu setting determines what kind of main front left and right speakers you are using. Use the LARGE setting if your main left and right speakers are full range designs with good bass response capability. If you are us- ing minispeakers or if you want the bass from these speakers to go to a subwoofer instead, use the SMALL setting.
CENTER SPEAKER (small/large/none): Use the LARGE position if your system’s center channel speaker is capable of
REAR SPEAKERS (small/large): If your rear surround speakers are capable of sustained low frequency output , select the LARGE set- ting. If your rear speakers have limited bass capability or if you prefer that the bass go to a subwoofer, use the SMALL setting.
SUBWOOFER (yes/no): Use the YES setting if your system has a subwoofer. If your system does not have a subwoofer, select the NO setting.
