2 Choose the set of speakers that you
want to set then select a speaker size.
Use to select the size (and number) of
each of the following speakers:
• Front – Select LARGE if your front
speakers reproduce bass frequencies
effectively, or if you didn't connect a
subwoofer. Select SMALL to send the bass
frequencies to the subwoofer.
• Center – Select LARGE if your center
speaker reproduces bass frequencies
effectively, or select SMALL to send bass
frequencies to the other speakers or
subwoofer. If you didn't connect a center
speaker, choose NO (the center channel is
sent to the other speakers).
• Surr – Select LARGE if your surround
speakers reproduce bass frequencies
effectively. Select SMALL to send bass
frequencies to the other speakers or
subwoofer. If you didn't connect surround
speakers choose NO (the sound of the
surround channels is sent to the other
speakers).
• SUB W. – LFE signals and bass
frequencies of channels set to SMALL are
output from the subwoofer when YES is
selected (see notes below). Choose the
PLUS setting if you want the subwoofer to
output bass sound continuously or you
want deeper bass (the bass frequencies
that would normally come out the front and
Note
1 If you select SMALL for the front speakers, the subwoofer will automatically be fixed to YES. Also, the center and surround
speakers can't be set to LARGE if the front speakers are set to SMALL. In this case, all bass frequencies are sent to the

subwoofer choose NO (the bass
frequencies are output from other
speakers).
3 When you're finished, press RETURN.
You return to the Manual SP Setup menu.
Tip
• If you have a subwoofer and like lots of
bass, it may seem logical to select LARGE
for your front speakers and PLUS for the
subwoofer. This may not, however, yield
the best bass results. Depending on the
speaker placement of your room you may
actually experience a decrease in the
amount of bass due to low frequency
cancellations. In this case, try changing
the position or direction of speakers. If you
can't get good results, listen to the bass
response with it set to PLUS and YES or
the front speakers set to LARGE and
SMALL alternatively and let your ears
judge which sounds best. If you're having
problems, the easiest option is to route all
the bass sounds to the subwoofer by
selecting SMALL for the front speakers.

sounds playing back from the speakers
selected as LARGE, or the subwoofer, and bass
sounds playing back from those selected as
SMALL. It also decides where the cutoff will be
for bass sounds in the LFE channel.
