Subwoofer Set Up (SPEAKER SETUP)
When you have connected a subwoofer, specify the size of the front speakers you have connected to change the frequency range output from the subwoofer so that you can obtain the best possible surround sound.
Even if you change the “SUBWOOFER” setting, the sound output from the front speakers do not change.
