Notes
• Certain setup parameters may be dimmed in the display. This means that the selected parameter is either unavailale or fixed and unchangeable due to sound field (pages 32–34) or other settings.
• Some speaker setup items may appear dimmed in the display. This means that they have been adjusted automatically due to other speaker settings. Depending on the settings, you may or may not be able to adjust certain speakers.
4 Rotate –/+ to select the parameter.
5 Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you have set all of the items that follow.
Note

Speaker setup parameters The initial settings are underlined.

MEMORY/ENTER to enter the selection. Check your speaker pattern using the supplied “Easy Setup Guide”.

xSUB WOOFER (Sub woofer)

•YES

If you connect a sub woofer, select “YES”.

•NO

If you did not connect a sub woofer, select “NO”. This activates the bass redirection circuitry and outputs the LFE signals from other speakers.

Tip

In order to take full advantage of the Dolby Digital bass redirection circuitry, we recommend setting the sub woofer’s cut off frequency as high as possible.

xFRONT SP (Front speakers)

•LARGE

If you connect large speakers that will effectively reproduce bass frequencies, select “LARGE”. Normally, select “LARGE”. When the sub woofer is set to “NO”, front speakers are automatically set 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 front channel bass frequencies from the sub woofer. When the front speakers are set to “SMALL”, the center, surround and surround back speakers are also automatically set to “SMALL” (unless previously set to “NO”).

xCENTER SP (Center speaker)

•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.
