*For STR-DB870, you can set this parameter only when the center speaker is set to “NO”.

**STR-DB1070 only.

***Except for models of area code U, CA.

xFront speaker size (FRONT)

•If you connect large speakers that will effectively reproduce bass frequencies, select “LARGE”. Normally, select “LARGE”.

•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 speaker size (CENTER)

•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”.

•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.* 1

•If you do not connect a center speaker, select “NO”. The sound of the center channel will be output from the front speakers.*2

•If you use the center speaker in the 2nd room, select “2ND ROOM”. When the center speaker is set to “2ND ROOM”, the surround back speaker is also automatically set to “2ND ROOM” (unless previously set to “NO”) (STR-DB1070 area code U, CA only).

xSurround speaker size (SURROUND)

•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”.

•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.

•If you do not connect surround speakers, select “NO”.* 3
