[] Notes :

oWhen speakers are set to "SMALU', you should set their crossover frequency correctly according to their frequency characteristics. (For details, refer to "When selecting the CROSSOVER FREQUENCY" on page 52.)

o Select "LARGE" or "SMALU' not according to the actual size of the speaker but according to the speaker's capacity for playing low frequency (bass sound below frequency set on the "CROSSOVER FREQUENCY" menu) signals.

o 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.
