0 About speaker sizes (LARGE and SMALL)

Internally, 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 sounds have 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 40
