Normal Speaker and Micro Satellite Speaker

For HT-6500DP, HT-5500D and HT-1700D, the speaker size and the sub woofer selection has been preset to MICRO SP. (Micro Satellite Speaker) according to the supplied speaker system.

When you select MICRO SP., the speaker size and sub woofer selection has been configurated as follows:

You cannot change the configuration if you select MICRO SP.
