Note

1 If you select

SMALL for the front speakers the subwoofer is fixed to YES. Also, the center, surround, and surround back speak-

ers 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.

2 • If the surround speakers are set to

NO, the surround back speakers will automatically be set to NO.

• If you selected

SB 2ND Z or SB BIAMP (in Surround back speaker setting on page 27) you can’t adjust surround back settings.

• If you select one surround back speaker only, make sure that speaker is hooked up to the left surround back terminal.

3 If you can’t get good bass results, listen to the bass response with the subwoofer 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.
