higher frequency range above the crossover point selected for the subwoofer. Remember
that if you are not completely sure (or if you choose to play it safe at first) you can select this
setting to get things started and see how much (if anything) is missing from the audio signal
content in the MAIN speakers.
Select OFF if you have no side-axis speakers. The size is always the same as the main
speakers, so do not set the mains to LARGE, if the side-axis speakers are small and not
capable of good bass performance.
SURROUND Speakers
Select LARGE for any speakers which are capable of good bass performance. Frequency
response will be FULL RANGE.
Select SMALL for any speakers such as satellites with 5 or 6 inch woofers. They will then
receive the higher frequency range above the crossover point selected for the subwoofer.
Remember that if you are not completely sure (or if you choose to play it safe at first) you can
select this setting to get things started and see how much (if anything) is missing from the
audio signal content in the MAIN speakers.
Select OFF if you have no surround speakers.
CENTER Speaker
In the OFF position, the center channel information is redirected to the fronts. This is some-
times known as a “PHANTOM” center channel.
In the ON position, the center channel can be configured in the same manner as the MAIN
speakers (Large or Small).
SURROUND BACK Speakers
Select OFF if you have no surround back speakers. The information will be shared among the
other surround speakers, creating a phantom back channel.
SUBWOOFER
Select ON if you have a subwoofer. It will then receive any LFE signals (from 5.1, 6.1 sources),
and the bass from any channels set to SMALL. If you have no subwoofer, you would obvi-
ously need to select OFF so that other speakers in the system can receive the bass that is
otherwise handled by the subwoofer.
Note: the bass management does not work for the 8-Channel input, or for Zone 2. Therefore
the speaker size settings will have no effect and these channels will always be full range.
