•Select “Large” or “Small” not according to the actual size of the speaker but according to the speaker’s capacity for playing low frequency (bass sound below the frequency set for the Crossover Frequency) signals. If you do not know, try comparing the sound at both settings (setting the volume to a level low enough so as not to damage the speakers) to determine the proper setting.

2Parameters

Large:

Select this when using speakers that can fully reproduce deep bass well below 80 Hz.

Small:

Select this when using speakers that are not capable of handling deep bass well below 80 Hz. Most home theater main and surround speakers perform best when configured as SMALL. Deep bass content in any channel with a SMALL speaker is routed to the subwoofer(s).

None:

Select this when no speakers are installed.

Yes / No:

Select “Yes” when a subwoofer is installed, “No” when a subwoofer is not installed.

2spkrs / 1spkr:

Select the number of speakers to be used for the surround back channel.

A subwoofer with sufficient low frequency playback capability can better handle deep bass than most main and surround speakers, and the system’s overall performance will be greatly enhanced when SMALL is set for the main (front) and surround speakers.

To take full advantage of the performance of the Home THX certified speaker systems, set the front, center and surround speaker size parameters to “Small” and the subwoofer to “Yes”.

For the majority of speaker system configurations, using the SMALL setting for all main and surround speakers and connected subwoofer(s) set to ON will yield the best results.

When “Front” is set to “Small”, “Subwoofer” is automatically set to “Yes”, and when “Subwoofer” is set to “No”, “Front” is automatically set to “Large”.

LFE–THX–:

 

 

For any channel(s) that are set to LARGE, low

 

frequencies in that channel’s corresponding source

 

are directed to that loudspeaker only. Low

 

frequencies that are directed to the subwoofer(s)

 

are from the program source LFE channel, and

 

from other channels where the speakers are set to

 

SMALL. THX recommends this mode so that bass

 

interference is less likely to occur in the room.

 

 

 

 

LFE+Main:

 

Low frequencies from speaker channels that have

 

been set to LARGE are reproduced from those

 

speakers as well as from the subwoofer(s).

 

Depending upon the characteristics of the LARGE

 

main speakers, this mode may provide a more even

 

low frequency response throughout the listening

 

room.
