2Use / to choose the speaker(s) that

you want to set then select a speaker size. Use / to select the size (and number) of each of the following speakers:

Front (F) – Select LARGE if your front speakers reproduce bass frequencies effectively, or if you didn’t connect a

subwoofer. Select SMALL to send the bass frequencies to the subwoofer.1

Center (C) – Select LARGE if your center speaker reproduces bass frequencies effectively, or select SMALL to send bass frequencies to the other speakers or subwoofer. If you didn’t connect a center speaker, choose NO (the center channel is sent to the other speakers).

Front Height (FH)2 – Select LARGE if your front height speakers reproduce bass frequencies effectively. Select SMALL to send bass frequencies to the other speakers or subwoofer. If you didn’t connect front height speakers choose NO.

Surround (S) – Select LARGE if your surround speakers reproduce bass frequencies effectively. Select SMALL to send bass frequencies to the other speakers or subwoofer. If you didn’t connect surround speakers choose NO (the sound of the surround channels is sent to the other speakers).

Surround Back (SB)3 – Select the number

of surround back speakers you have (one, two or none).4 Select LARGE if your surround back speakers reproduce bass frequencies effectively. Select SMALL to send bass frequencies to the other speakers or subwoofer. If you didn’t connect surround back speakers choose NO.

Subwoofer (SW) – LFE signals and bass frequencies of channels set to SMALL are

output from the subwoofer when YES is selected.5 Choose the PLUS setting if you want the subwoofer to output bass sound continuously or you want deeper bass (the bass frequencies that would normally come out the front and center speakers are also routed to the subwoofer). If you did not connect a subwoofer choose NO (the bass frequencies are output from other speakers).

Speaker setting Note

1If you select SMALL for the front speakers, the subwoofer will automatically be fixed to YES. Also, the center, surround, surround back and front height speakers can’t be set to LARGE if the front speakers are set to SMALL. In this case, all bass frequencies are sent to the subwoofer.

2• You can only adjust this setting when PRE OUT is set to HEIGHT.

If the surround speakers are set to NO, the front height speakers will automatically be set to NO.

3You can only adjust the this setting when PRE OUT is set to SURR.BACK.

4• If the surround speakers are set to NO, the surround back speakers will automatically be set to NO.

If you select one surround back speaker only, make sure that additional amplifier is hooked up to the PRE OUT L (Single) terminal.

5If you can’t get good bass results, listen to the bass response with the subwoofer set to PLUS and YES or the front speakers set to LARGE and SMALL alternatively and let your ears judge which sounds best. If you’re having problems, the easiest option is to route all the bass sounds to the subwoofer by selecting SMALL for the front speakers.
