Speaker Size and Delay

The speaker size and delay menu lets you tell your receiver how many speakers you have in your system, the

relative size of the s peaker s, and their plac em ent in the r oom . This is the m ost im portant setup proc edure you will

perform . T he receiver comes from the f actory setup for 5 s mall s peakers and a subwoofer. If this does not m atch

your speakers then audio information will be lost. For example, if you do not currently have a center channel

speaker and you do not perform this setup procedure, the center channel information will be lost. If you perform

this setup correctly, the receiver will know that you have no center channel speaker and send this information to

your fr ont left and right speak ers (along with the normal fr ont left and right inform ation) so no audio inform ation is

lost.

About Speaker Size - Speak er size literally refers to the s ize of your speaker s. Audio material, particularly Dolby

Digital and DTS movies, often contain large amounts of bass. If this bass information is sent to small speakers

that are incapable of reproducing so m uch bass, then the bas s inform ation will be lost or distorted. MANY SMALL

SPEAKERS MAY BE DAMAGED BY TOO MUCH BASS. By telling your receiver the size of your speak ers, it will

be able to intelligently route the bas s to s peak er s that can r epr oduce it c or rec tly. T ypically, all books helf or sa tellite

speakers are considered small. Smaller floor standing speakers with single woofers 8” or less should also be

considered small. Floor standing speakers with 10” or larger woofers or multiple smaller woofers may be

considered large. Thes e are general guidelines only - if you are unsure c onsult your speaker m anufacturer . If you

have all sm all speaker s we strongly recom m end use of a s ubwoofer. If your front lef t and right speak ers ( or m ore)

are large then you may not require a subwoofer, but you m ay still get better r esults using a s ubwoofer, es pecially

with Dolby Digital and DTS movies.
