Center
– Select
LARGE
if your center speaker reproduces
bass frequencies effectively, or select

frequencies to the other speakers or subwoofer. If you
didn’t connect a center speaker, choose
NO
(the center
channel is sent to the other speakers).
•
Surr
– Select
LARGE
if your surround speakers reproduce
bass frequencies effectively. Select
SMALL
to send bass
frequencies to the other speakers or subwoofer. If you
didn’t connect surround speakers choose
NO
(the sound of
the surround channels is sent to the other speakers).
•
Surr. Back
(VSX-S510 only) – Select the number of
surround back speakers you have (one, two or none). Select
LARGE
if your surround back speakers reproduce bass
frequencies effectively. Select
SMALL
to send bass
frequencies to the other speakers or subwoofer. If you

VSX-S510 only
: When using only one surround back
speaker, connect it to the
SURROUND BACK L (Single)
terminals.
•
Subwoofer
– LFE signals and bass frequencies of
channels set to
SMALL
are output from the subwoofer
when
YES
is selected (see notes below). Choose the
PLUS
setting if you want the subwoofer to output bass sound
continuously or you want deeper bass (the bass
frequencies that would normally come out the front and
center speakers are also routed to the subwoofer). If you did
not connect a subwoofer choose
NO
(the bass frequencies
are output from other speakers).

When you’re finished, press

You return to the Manual SP Setup menu.
Note
•
If you select
SMALL
for the front speakers, the subwoofer
will automatically be fixed to
YES
. Also, the center,
surround, surround back speakers (VSX-S510 only) can’t be
set to
LARGE
if the front speakers are set to
SMALL
. In this
case, all bass frequencies are sent to the subwoofer.
•
If the surround speakers are set to
NO
, the surround back
speakers will automatically be set to
NO
(VSX-S510 only).
•
If you have a subwoofer and like lots of bass, it may seem
logical to select
LARGE
for your front speakers and
PLUS
for the subwoofer. This may not, however, yield the best
bass results. Depending on the speaker placement of your
room you may actually experience a decrease in the
amount of bass due to low frequency cancellations. In this
case, try changing the position or direction of speakers. If
you can’t get good results, listen to the bass response with
it set to
PLUS
and
YES
or the front speakers set to
LARGE
and
SMALL
alternatively and let your ears judge which
sounds best. If you’re having problems, the easiest option
is to route all the bass sounds to the subwoofer by selecting
SMALL
for the front speakers.
X.Over
•
Default setting:
100Hz
This setting decides the cutoff between bass sounds playing
back from the speakers selected as
LARGE
, or the subwoofer,
and bass sounds playing back from those selected as
SMALL
.
It also decides where the cutoff will be for bass sounds in the
LFE channel.
