• Select "Large" or "Small" not according to the
actual size of the speaker but according to the
speaker's capacity for playing low frequency (bass
sound below the frequency set for the Crossover
Frequency) signals. If you do not know, try
comparing the sound at both settings (setting the
volume to a level low enough so as not to damage
the speakers) to determine the proper setting.

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.
H H
or button to
Yes / No:
ENTER Select "Yes" when a subwoofer is installed, "No"
when a subwoofer is not installed.
2spkrs / 1spkr:
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.
H H
or button to
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".

LFE–THX–:
For any channel(s) that are set to LARGE, low
frequencies in that channel's corresponding source
are directed to that loudspeaker only. Low
frequencies that are directed to the subwoofer(s)
are from the program source LFE channel, and
from other channels where the speakers are set to
SMALL. THX is recommended in this play mode so
that bass interference is less likely to occur in the
room.
LFE+Main:
Low frequencies from speaker channels that have
been set to LARGE are reproduced from those
speakers as well as from the subwoofer(s).
Depending upon the characteristics of the LARGE
main speakers, this mode may provide a more
even low frequency response throughout the
listening room.
