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:

To find the best option for your room and system, first position all of your speakers and then select the option that gives the most solid sounding bass. The options are:

•‘None’ All bass is routed to ‘Large’ L/R Front and Surround speakers, including bass from speakers set to ‘Small’ plus bass from the ‘.1’ LFE (Low Frequency Effects) channel.

•‘1 Sub’ Bass from channels set to ‘Small’ goes to the subwoofer along with bass from the ‘.1’ LFE channel. This setting is preferred by THX.

•‘1 Super’ The subwoofer plays bass from all channels (Large and Small), together with LFE. This setting is recommended only for the Music configuration when using full-range speakers set to ‘Large’ together with the subwoofer.

•‘2 Sub’ or ‘2 Super’ – Select when using both Subwoofer outputs. This adjusts the level of the subwoofer channel test noise to compensate for the additional subwoofer.

‘None’ Setting for Center, Surrounds, or Rears:

•If CENTER is set to ‘None’, center channel information is redirected to the L/R Fronts (this is also known as a Phantom center channel).

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

•If REARS are set to ‘None’, Rear channel information of Surround EX and DTS-ES DVDs plays in the Surround channels – no information is lost in the absence of Rear speakers.

Note: If using 5.1 speakers (or less) in your system, the surround speakers must be connected using the SURROUND channels, and REARS must be set to ‘None’ to properly configure your system.
