Press V/v repeatedly to set the size of
the selected speaker, then press
.
• Large
If you connect large speakers that will
effectively reproduce bass frequencies,
select “Large”. Normally, select “Large”.
• Small
If the sound is distorted, or you feel a lack
of surround effects when using multi
channel surround sound, select “Small” to
activate the bass redirection circuitry and
output the bass frequencies of each
channel from the subwoofer or other
“Large” speakers.
Note
This function does not work when “Analog Direct”
is being used.
Tips
• The “Large” and “Small” settings for each speaker
determine whether the internal sound processor
will cut the bass signal from that channel.
When the bass is cut from a channel, the bass
redirection circuitry sends the corresponding bass
frequencies to the subwoofer or other “Large”
speakers.
However, since bass sound has a certain amount of
directionality, it is best not to cut it, if possible.
Therefore, even when using small speakers, you
can set them to “Large” if you want to output the
bass frequencies from that speaker. On the other
hand, if you are using a large speaker, but prefer
not to have bass frequencies output from that
speaker, set it to “Small”.
If the overall sound level is lower than you prefer,
set all speakers to “Large”. If there is not enough
bass, you can use the equalizer to boost the bass
levels.
• The surround back speakers will be set to the same
setting as that of the surround speakers.
• When the front speakers are set to “Small”, the
center, surround, and front high speakers are also
automatically set to “Small”.
• If you do not use the subwoofer, the front speakers
are automatically set to “Large”.
