SPEAKER (Front, Center, Surround) setting mode

This setting establishes the size and configuration of the speaker system you have connected. So, for example, here you set whether you have connected surround speakers or not, and how big they are. Selecting “Large” or “Small” will determine how much bass is sent by the receiver to the speakers being set. This setup system has certain constraints. For example, all your speakers cannot be set to “Large,” you need to decide which speakers should receive the most bass and set them to “Large.”

In the display, “F”, “C”, and “S” refer to front, center, and surround speakers respectively. Speaker size is denoted as “L” for large speakers, “S” for small speakers, and “*” (asterisk) if no speaker is connected.

memo If the cone size (radius) of the speaker is larger than 5 inches, please set to Large.

Switch the speaker setting mode according to the speakers you hooked up. Use the % or Þ buttons.

The configurations shown on the right will appear in the display on the front of the receiver. One of them should match your speaker set up. Cycle through the different possibilities until you find the one that matches your set up.
