•In order to take full advantage of the Dolby Digital bass redirection circuitry, we recommend that you set the cut off frequency on the sub woofer as high as possible.

x L R XXXXX (Front speakers size)

•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 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”).
