Small or Large:

Most speakers should be set to ‘Small’ and be used with a subwoofer, unless they use large drivers that can handle bass and LFE. Even then, physically large speakers may need a subwoofer for bass frequencies, particularly the bass of the ‘.1’ LFE channel. All THX certified speakers are designed to be set to ‘Small’. After highlighting a speaker or speaker group, use the  buttons to select to ‘Large’, ‘Small’, or ‘None’.

Subwoofer:

•‘1 Sub’ The subwoofer plays two things – bass from channels set to Small, plus the Low Frequency Effects track on 5.1-channel source material. This setting is preferred by THX.

•‘1 Super’ As above, except bass from all channels is included, not just the ones set to Small. This setting is not recommended for the Cinema configuration.

•‘2 Sub’ or ‘2 Super’ – Select if you’re using both Subwoofer outputs. This simply reduces the subwoofer channel’s test noise level to compensate for the additional subwoofer.

‘None’ Settings:

No information is lost if less than 7.1 speakers are used and this menu is set correctly.

•If CENTER is set to ‘None’, the Center channel plays from the L/R Front speakers.

•If SURROUNDS are set to ‘None’, the L-Surround channel plays from the L-Front channel, and the R-Surround channel plays from the R-Front channel (except Dolby Pro Logic mode).

•If REARS are set to ‘None’, the Rear channel on Surround EX and DTS-ES DVDs plays from the Surround channels.

•If SUBWOOFER is set to ‘None’, the Subwoofer channel (bass from ‘Small’ channels plus the LFE track) plays from ‘Large’ L/R Front and Surround speakers.

If you are using 5.1 speakers, use the SURROUND outputs and set REARS to ‘None’.
