When “NO” is selected, the front speakers are automatically set to “LARGE”.

x L R (FRONT) (Front speakers)

•LARGE

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

•SMALL

If sound seems distorted, or you feel a lack of surround effects when using multichannel surround sound, select “SMALL” to activate the bass redirection circuitry and output the front channel bass frequencies from the subwoofer. When the front speakers are set to “SMALL”, the center and surround speakers are also automatically set to “SMALL” (unless previously set to “NO”).

x C (CENTER) (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 sound seems distorted, or you feel a lack of surround effects when using multichannel 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 subwoofer.

•NO

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

x SLSR (SURROUND) (Surround speakers)

•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 multichannel surround sound, select “SMALL” to activate the bass redirection circuitry and output the surround channel bass frequencies from the subwoofer or other “LARGE” speakers.

•NO

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

If the surround speakers are set to “NO”, the surround back speakers are automatically set to “NO”.

x SB (SURR BACK) (Surround back speaker)

•YES

If you connect a surround back speaker, select “YES”.

•NO

If you do not connect a surround back speaker, select “NO”.

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 subwoofer or other “LARGE” speakers. However, it is best not to cut them, if possible. Therefore, even when using small speakers, you can set speaker settings 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 would 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 bass, see page 27.

x L R DIST. XX m (Front speaker distance)

Initial setting: 3.0 m

Lets you set the distance from your listening position to the front speakers (A on page 8). You can adjust from 1.0 m to 7.0 m in 0.1 meter steps.

If both front speakers are not placed an equal distance from your listening position, set this distance to the closest speaker.

x C DIST. XX m

(Center speaker distance)

Initial setting: 3.0 m

Lets you set the distance from your listening position to the center speaker. You can adjust from 1.0 m to 7.0 m in 0.1 meter steps.

xSLSR DIST. XX m (Surround speaker distance)

Initial setting: 3.0 m
