will be output from the sub woofer if the digital input signal contains L.F.E. signals, or if the front or surround speakers are set to “SMALL,” the sound field for movie is selected, or “Portable Audio” is selected.

•LARGE
If you connect large speakers that will effectively reproduce bass frequencies, select “LARGE.” Normally, select “LARGE.”
•SMALL
If the sound is distorted, or you feel a lack of surround effects when using
68GB
the bass redirection circuitry and output the bass frequencies of each channel from the sub woofer or other “LARGE” speakers.
Tips
•The “LARGE” and “SMALL” settings for each speaker determine whether 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, since bass sound has a certain amount of directionality, it is best not to cut it, 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.
•The surround back speakers will be set to the same setting as that of the surround speakers.
•When the front speakers are set to “SMALL,” the center, surround, and surround back speakers are also automatically set to “SMALL.”
•If you do not use the sub woofer, the front speakers are automatically set to “LARGE.”
