If you have a subwoofer and like lots of bass, it
may seem logical to select LARGE for your
FRONT speakers and leave the subwoofer
selected. This may not, however, yield the best
bass results. Depending on the size and shape
of your room you may actually experience a
decrease in the amount of bass due to what is
called "low frequency cancellations." If you have
a subwoofer, listen to the bass response with
the FRONT speakers set to LARGE and SMALL
alternatively and let your ears judge which
sounds best.
If you have a subwoofer, the safest option is to
route all the bass sounds to it by selecting
SMALL for the FRONT speakers.
SURROUND (default setting is LARGE)
• Select large if your speakers will reproduce bass
frequencies effectively.
• Select small to send bass frequencies to the other
speakers or subwoofer.
• If you did not connect surround speakers deselect
them. In this case, the sound of the surround channels
is output from the front and center speakers.
• Remember, If you select small for the front speakers,
the SURROUND and SURROUND BACK speakers can
only be set to SMALL.
SURROUND BACK (default setting is LARGE X2)
NOTE: In order to use SURROUND BACK speakers you
need to hook them up through an external amplifier
(see p.21 for more on this).
• Select the number of SURROUND BACK speakers you
have. You can choose one speaker, two or none.
• Select large if your speakers will reproduce bass
frequencies effectively.
• Select small to send bass frequencies to the other
speakers or subwoofer.
• If you did not connect surround back speakers deselect
them. In this case the boxes in the diagram will appear
empty, as shown on the left.
• If the FRONT speakers or the SURROUND speakers are
set to SMALL, the SURROUND BACK speakers will
automatically be set to SMALL.
• If you choose THX in step 2 then the SURROUND
BACK speakers can only be set to small (or off).
SUBWOOFER (default setting is YES)
• Leave it selected if you connected a subwoofer.
• If you did not connect a subwoofer deselect it. In this
case, the bass frequencies are output from the front or
surround speakers.
• Choose the PLUS setting if you want stronger reproduc-
tion of deep bass sounds.
• If you select PLUS the bass frequencies that would
normally come out the front and center speakers are all
routed to the subwoofer.
• If you selected SMALL for the FRONT speakers the
subwoofer will automatically be set to on (you won’t be
able to choose off or PLUS).
