matching the type of speakers you have at the
left-front and right-front positions, as described
by the definitions shown in preceding section.
When SMALL is selected, low frequency front
channel sounds will be sent only to the subwoofer
output. Note that if you choose this option and
there is no subwoofer connected, you will not
hear any low frequency sounds from the front
channels.
When LARGE is selected, a full-range output
will be sent to the front left and front right out-
puts. Depending on the subwoofer configuration
(see below), the front left and right bass informa-
tion may also be directed to a subwoofer.
Important Note: When a speaker set with two
front satellites and a passive subwoofer is used,
connected to the front speaker outputs
the fronts must be set for LARGE.

ter channel sounds will be sent to the Fronts, if
they are set for LARGE and Sub is turned off.
When Sub is on, low frequency center channel
sounds will be sent to the subwoofer only.
When LARGE is selected, a full-range output
will be sent to the center speaker output, and
with analog and digital surround modes NO cen-
ter channel signal will be sent to the subwoofer
output.
and
When NONE is selected, no signal will be sent
to the center channel output. The receiver will
operate in a "phantom" center channel mode
and center channel information will be sent to
the left and right front channel outputs. This
on the
mode is needed if no Center speaker is used
(note that for the use of Logic 7C surround
mode a Center speaker is needed, but Logic 7M
works well without a Center too).

surround channel bass will be sent to the sub-
woofer output.
, When NONE is selected, surround sound
information will be split between the front-left

option is selected, all bass information will be
routed to the front left/right "main" speakers.
• If a subwoofer is connected to the AVR 2000,
you have the option to have the front left/right
"main" speakers reproduce bass frequencies at
all times, and have the subwoofer operate only
when the AVR 2000 is being used with a digital
source that contains a dedicated Low Frequency
Effects, or LFE soundtrack. This allows you to use
both your main and subwoofer speakers to take
advantage of the special bass created for certain
movies. To select that option press the arrow

use it for bass reproduction in conjunction with
the main front left/right speakers, regardless of
