3Specify the type of speakers you connected. See the explanations below for the meaning of each size.

1Press 2 or 3 to move the cursor to LARGE, SMALL, or NO (you cannot select NO for the FRONT speakers).

2Press °.

3Repeat 1 and 2 for each speaker.

Depending on your choices the sound will be routed differently, as explained here.

FRONT (default setting is LARGE)

Select small to send bass frequencies to the sub woofer.

Select large if your speakers will reproduce bass frequencies effectively or if you did not connect a sub woofer.

(If you select small for the front speakers the sub woofer will automatically be switched YES. Also,the center and surround speakers cannot be set to large if the front speakers are set to small. In this case, all bass frequencies are sent to the sub woofer.)

CENTER (default setting is LARGE)

Select large if your speaker will reproduce bass frequencies effectively.

Select small to send bass frequencies to the other speakers or sub woofer.

If you did not connect a center speaker, deselect it. In this case, the center channel is output from the front speakers.

SURROUND (default setting is LARGE)

Select large if your speakers will reproduce bass frequencies effectively.

Select small to send bass frequencies to the other speakers or sub woofer.

If you did not connect surround speakers, deselect them. In this case, the sound of the surround channels is output from the front and center speakers.

SUB WOOFER (default setting is YES)

Leave it selected if you connected a sub woofer.

If you did not connect a sub woofer, deselect it. In this case, the bass frequencies are output from the front or surround speakers.

Choose the PLUS setting if you want stronger reproduction of deep bass sounds.

If you select PLUS the bass frequencies that would normally come out the front and center speakers are all routed to the sub woofer.

4Select EXIT with the 5´° buttons and press ENTER to return to the SYSTEM SETUP MENU.

Next, proceed to CHANNEL DELAY below.

If you want to change a setting before proceeding Simply use the arrow buttons to go back.

If you have a sub woofer and like lots of bass, it may seem logical to select LARGE for your FRONT speakers and leave the sub woofer selected. This may not, however, yield the best bass results. Depending on the size and shape of your room, you may actually experience a decrease in the amount of bass due to what is called “low frequency cancellations.” If you have a sub woofer, listen to the bass response with the FRONT speakers set to LARGE and SMALL alternatively and let your ears judge which sounds best.

The safest option in this case is to route all the bass sounds to the sub woofer by selecting SMALL for the FRONT speakers.
