Every surround-sound system requires
"bass-management" to direct low frequency
content from any or all channels to the
speakers best able to reproduce it. For this
function to operate correctly, it is important
that you correctly identify your speakers'
capabilities. We use the terms [S] (small), [L]
(large) and [Off], but note that physical size may
be irrelevant.
[S]
• speaker is any model, regardless of
physical size, that lacks signifi cant deep-bass
response, that is, at about 50 Hz to 160 Hz.
[L]
• speaker is any full-range model, that is,
one with deep-bass response
[Off]
• speaker is one that is not present in
your system. For example, you might not
have any surround-back speakers installed; in
that case, you would set the [Back] setup
item to [Off].

Adjusting the relative balance of your system's
loudspeakers ensures that surround-sound
recordings, whether music or fi lm, will present
the balance of effects, music, and dialogue that
the artists intended. Additionally, if your system
incorporates a subwoofer it establishes a
correct relationship between the volume of the
subwoofer and the other speakers, and thus of
low-frequencies (bass) to other sonic elements.
