x SURROUND (

)

(Surround speaker size)

• LARGE

If you connect large speakers that will

effectively reproduce bass frequencies, select

“LARGE”. Normally, select “LARGE”.

However, if the front speakers are set to

“SMALL”, you cannot set the surround

speakers to “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

surround channel bass frequencies from the sub

woofer or other “LARGE” speakers.

• NO

If you did not connect surround speakers, select

“NO”.

Tip

The LARGE and SMALL settings for 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 redirection

circuitry sends the corresponding bass frequencies to

the sub woofer or other “LARGE” speakers.

However, since bass has a certain amount of

directionality, it best not to cut them, 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. To

adjust the equalizer, see page 39.

x SUB WOOFER (

)

(Sub woofer selection)

• YES

If you connect a sub woofer, select “YES”.

• NO

If you did not connect a sub woofer, select

“NO”. This activates the bass redirection

circuitry and outputs the LFE signals from other

speakers.

Tip

In order to take full advantage of the Dolby Digital

bass redirection circuitry, we recommend setting the

sub woofer’s cut off frequency as high as possible.

For advanced speaker setups

Use the CUSTOMIZE menu and set “MENU”

to “MENU EXP.” This enables advanced

setups including those of the distances to the

speakers and heights of the speakers.

For details on “MENU”, see page 40. For

details on how to set the items, see page 41.
