5:Setting up the speakers (continued)
xCENTER SP (Center speaker size)
•LARGE
If you connect a large speaker that will effectively reproduce bass frequencies, select “LARGE”. Normally, select “LARGE”. However, if the front speakers are set to “SMALL”, you cannot set the center speaker 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 center channel bass frequencies from the front speakers (if set to “LARGE”) or sub woofer.
•NO (for all sources except MULTI CH 1/2) If you did not connect a center speaker, select “NO”. The sound of the center channel will be output from the front speakers (digital downmix).
•MIX (for all sources except MULTI CH 1/2)
If you did not connect a center speaker but want to downmix the center channel audio, select “MIX”.
This is only active when the front, surround, and surround back speakers are set to “LARGE” (ANALOG DOWNMIX). When all speakers are not set to “LARGE”, the center channel will be downmixed digitally (DIGITAL DOWNMIX).
*When using MULTI CH 1/2 sources, the sound of the center channel is output from the front speakers if you select either “NO” or “MIX”.
xSURROUND SP (Surround speaker size)
•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”. When the surround speakers are set to “NO”, the surround back speakers are also automatically set to “NO”.
