memo
If you have a subwoofer and like lots of bass, it may seem logical to select LARGE for your FRONT speakers and
leave the subwoofer selected. This may not, however, yield the best bass results. Depending on the size and
shape of your room you may actually experience a decrease in the amount of bass due to what is called "low
frequency cancellations." If you have a subwoofer, listen to the bass response with the FRONT speakers set to
LARGE and SMALL alternatively and let your ears judge which sounds best.
The safest option in this case is to route all the bass sounds to the subwoofer by selecting SMALL for the
FRONT speakers.

ently, read below for detailed explanations.
FRONT (default setting is LARGE)
• Select SMALL to send bass frequencies to the subwoofer.
• Select LARGE if your speakers will reproduce bass frequencies
effectively or if you did not connect a subwoofer.
(If you select SMALL for the front speakers the subwoofer will
automatically be set to YES. Also, the center and surround
speakers cannot be set to LARGE if the front speakers are set to
SMALL. In this case, all bass frequencies are sent to the
subwoofer.)
CENTER (default setting is LARGE)
• Select LARGE if your speaker will reproduce bass frequencies
effectively.
• Select SMALL to send bass frequencies to the other speakers or
subwoofer.
• If you did not connect a center speaker select NO. In this case, the
center channel is output from the front speakers.
• If the front speakes are set to SMALL the CENTER speaker will
automatically set to SMALL.
SURROUND (default setting is LARGE)
• Select LARGE if your speakers will reproduce bass frequencies
effectively.
• Select SMALL to send bass frequencies to the other speakers or
subwoofer.
• If you did not connect SURROUND speakers select NO. In this
case, the sound of the surround channels is output from the front
and center speakers.
• If the FRONT speakers are set to SMALL, the SURROUND
speakers will automatically set to SMALL.
SUBWOOFER (default setting is YES)
• Selected YES you connected a subwoofer.
• If you did not connect a subwoofer select NO. In this case, the
bass frequencies are output from the front or surround speakers.
• Choose the PLUS setting if you want stronger reproduction of
deep bass sounds.
• If you select PLUS the bass frequencies that would normally come
out the front and center speakers are all routed to the subwoofer.
