You need to make with/without (or yes/no) and size (bass reproducing capacity) selection/ad- justments depending on the installed speak- ers. The size needs to be set to LARGE (large) if the speaker is capable of reproducing sounds of about 100 Hz or below. Otherwise select SMALL (small).

!When DIGITAL DIRECT is on, you cannot select SPEAKER SETTING. First turn the DIGITAL DIRECT off, referring to Using the direct control on the previous page.

!Low frequency range is not output if the subwoofer is set to OFF and the front and rear speakers set to SMALL or OFF.

!It is imperative that non-installed speakers be set to OFF.

!Set the front or rear speaker to LARGE if the speaker is capable of reproducing bass content, or if no subwoofer is installed.
