Note
1 If you select SMALL for the front speakers the subwoofer is fixed to YES. Also, the center, surround, and surround back speak-
ers can’t be set to LARGE if the front speakers are set to SMALL. In this case, all bass frequencies are sent to the subwoofer.
2 • If the surround speakers are set to NO, the surround back speaker will automatically be set to NO.
• If you select one surround back speaker only, make sure that speaker is hooked up to the left surround back terminal.
3 If you can’t get good bass results, listen to the bass response with the subwoofer set to PLUS and YES or the front speakers
set to LARGE and SMALL alternatively and let your ears judge which sounds best. If you’re having problems, the easiest option
is to route all the bass sounds to the subwoofer by selecting SMALL for the front speakers.
4 For more on selecting the speaker sizes, see Speaker setting above.
5 After the volume increases to the reference level, test tones will be output.
