Tip
Internally, _he LARGE and SMALL settings ti0r each
speaker determine whether or not the internal sound
processor will cut the bass signal from that channel.
When the bass is cut from a channel, the bass
i_direction circuitry sends the corresponding bass
frequencies to the sub woofer or other "LARGE"
speakers.
However, since bass sounds have a certain amount of
directionality, it is best not to cut them. if pessible.
Thereti)]_, 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 pl_ fer not to have
bass fi'equencies outpul from that speaker, set it to
"SMALL".
If tile overall sound level is lower than you prefer, set
al! speakers to "LARGE". If there is not enough bass,
you can use the BASS +/- to boost the bass levels. To
adjust the bass, see page 30.
• Sub woofer selection (_ S.W. XXX)
