About "Large" or "Small" speaker
A "Large" speaker is a speaker that can reproduce bass
frequencies plentifully. If you select "Small" for the
surround speakers, the bass frequencies will come
from the front speakers and/or sub woofer.
For normal use, select "MCH Direct" or set all the
speakers to "Large" (ex. "5 – Large + SW," "5 – Large,"
etc.). If the sound is noisy or the Multi-channel
playback is not effective while playing a Multi-channel
Super Audio CD, change the settings of the speakers
concerned to "Small."

Notes

balance of each speaker).
