If you want the sound to come from the subwoofer, please
SP-A/B
change the speaker setup.
(There are 2 following methods)
RECEIVER
Method 1: Change the front speaker to SMALL.
The low frequency sound will be output not from the front
speaker but the subwoofer.
We recommend not changing this if the low frequency
function of the front speaker is high.
Method 2: Change the subwoofer to PLUS.
The low frequency sound will output from both the front
speaker and the subwoofer.
This may lead to excessive low frequency sound.
If that happens, we suggest you do not change the setting
or change to Method 1.
