Setting The Low Frequency Distribution - Denon AVC-A1XVA Operating Instructions Manual

• Parameters
Large.....................Select this when using speakers that can fully reproduce deep bass well below 80 Hz.
Small ....................Select this when using speakers that are not capable of handling deep bass well below 80 Hz. Most home theater main and
surround speakers perform best when configured as SMALL. Deep bass content in any channel with a SMALL speaker is
routed to the subwoofer(s).
None .....................Select this when no speakers are installed.
Yes/No..................Select "Yes" when a subwoofer is installed, "No" when a subwoofer is not installed.
2 spkrs/1 spkr......Select the number of speakers to be used for the surround back channel.
A subwoofer with sufficient low frequency playback capability can better handle deep bass than most main and surround speakers, and the
system's overall performance will be greatly enhanced when SMALL is set for the main (front) and surround speakers.
To take full advantage of the performance of the Home THX certified speaker systems, set the front, center and surround speaker size
parameters to "Small" and the subwoofer to "Yes".
For the majority of speaker system configurations, using the SMALL setting for all main and surround speakers and connected subwoofer(s)
set to ON will yield the best results.
When "Front" is set to "Small", "Subwoofer" is automatically set to "Yes", and when "Subwoofer" is set to "No", "Front" is automatically
set to "Large".
