xSURROUND SP (Surround speakers)

The surround back speakers are set to the same setting.

LARGE

If you connect large speakers that will effectively reproduce bass frequencies, select “LARGE”. Normally, select “LARGE”. However, if the front speakers are set to “SMALL”, you cannot set the surround speakers to “LARGE”.

SMALL

If the sound is distorted, or you feel a lack of surround effects when using multi channel surround sound, select “SMALL” to activate the bass redirection circuitry and output the surround channel bass frequencies from the sub woofer or other “LARGE” speakers.

NO

If you did not connect surround speakers, select “NO”.

xSURR BACK SP (Surround back speakers)

When the surround speakers size parameter is set to “NO”, the surround back speakers selection parameter is also automatically set to “NO” and the setting cannot be changed.

DUAL

If you connect two surround back speakers, select “DUAL”. The sound will be output to a maximum of 7.1 channels.

SINGLE

If you connect only one surround back speaker, select “SINGLE”. The sound will be output to a maximum of 6.1 channels.

NO

If you did not connect surround back speakers, select “NO”.

ZONE-3

If you use the surround back speaker in the 3rd zone, select “ZONE-3”.

Tip

The “LARGE” and “SMALL” settings for each speaker determine whether or not the internal sound processor will cut the bass signal from that channel. When the bass is cut from a channel, the bass redirection circuitry sends the corresponding bass frequencies to the sub woofer or other “LARGE” speakers.

However, it best not to cut them, if possible. Therefore, even when using small speakers, you can set them to “LARGE” if you want to output the bass frequencies from that speaker. On the other hand, if you are using a large speaker, but prefer not to have bass frequencies output from that speaker, set it to “SMALL”.

If the overall sound level is lower than you prefer, set all speakers to “LARGE”. If there is not enough bass, you can use the equalizer to boost the bass levels. To adjust the equalizer, see page 40.
