If you have a subwoofer and like
lots of bass, it may seem logical to
select LARGE for your FRONT
speakers and leave the subwoofer
selected. This may not, however,
yield the best bass results. Depend-
ing on the size and shape of your
room you may actually experience a
decrease in the amount of bass due
to what is called "low frequency
cancellations." If you have a sub-
woofer, listen to the bass response
with the FRONT speakers set to
LARGE and SMALL alternatively
and let your ears judge which
sounds best.
If you have a subwoofer, the safest
option is to route all the bass
sounds to it by selecting SMALL for
the FRONT speakers.

able to choose no or PLUS).
SURROUND BACK (default setting is LARGE X2)
NOTE: In order to use SURROUND BACK speakers you
need to hook them up through an external amplifier (see p.
19 & 21) for more on this.

you have. You can choose one speaker, two or none.
• If the FRONT speakers or the SURROUND speakers are set
to SMALL, the SURROUND BACK speakers will automatical-
ly be set to SMALL.

speakers can only be set to SMALL (or NO).

cies effectively.
