Front speaker size
FRONT SP [LARGE]
Initial sottinj; : LARGE
• U you connect large speakers that will eftecti\ elv
reproduce bass frequencies, select “LARGg^. Normally,
select "LARGE".
• If the sound is distorted, or you feet 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.
■ Center speaker size
CENTER SP [LARGE]
Initial setting; LARGE
• If you connect a large speaker that will effectively
reproduce bass frequencies, select "LARGE", Normally,
select "LARGE".
• 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 center channel bass frequencies from the
front speakers (if set to "LARGE") or sub woofer.
• If you do not connect the center speaker, select "NO".
The sound of the center charmel will be output from the
front speakers.*^
■ Rear speaker size
REAR SP [LARGE]
Initial setting: LARGE
• If you connect large speakers that will effectively
reproduce bass frequencies, select "LARGE". Normally,
select "LARGE".
• Tf 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 rear channel bass frequencies from the
sub woofer or other "LARGE" speakers.
• If you do not connect rear speakers, select "NO". The
sound of the rear channel will be output from the front
speakers.*^

C* About speaker sizes (LARGE and SMALL)
Internally, the LARGE and SMALL settings for each speaker
determine whether or not the internal sound proce.s.sor will cut
the bass signal from that channel. When the bass is cut from a
channel, the bass redirection circuitrx’ sends the corresponding
bass frequencies to the sub woofer or other "LARGE" speaker.
However, since bass sounds have a certain amount of
direcfionality if best not to cut them, if possible. Therefore, e\ en
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 lev el 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. To adjust the equalizer, see
page 32.
■ Sub woofer selection
SUB WOOFER [YES]
Initial setting: YES
• If you connect a sub woofer, select "YES".
• If you do not connect a sub woofer, select "NO". This
activates the bass redirection circuitry and outputs the
LEE signals from other speakers.
• In order to take full advantage of the bass redirection
circuitry, we recommend setting the sub woofer's cut off
frequency as high as possible.
■ Front speaker distance
FRONT XX.X meter
Initial setting : 5.0 meter
Set the distance from your listening position to the front
(left or right) speaker (O on page 18).
• Front speaker distance can be set in 0.1 meter (1 foot)
steps from 1.0 to 12.0 meters (3 to 40 feet).
• If both speakers are not placed an equal distance from
your listening position, set the distance to the closest
speaker.
