Select ‘Speaker Setting’ from the

Manual SP Setup menu.

2

Choose the set of speakers that you

want to set then select a speaker size.

Use

/

to select the size (and number) of

each of the following speakers:

Front

– Select

LARGE

if your front

speakers reproduce bass frequencies
effectively, or if you didn’t connect a
subwoofer. Select

SMALL

to send the bass

frequencies to the subwoofer.

1

Center

– Select

LARGE

if your center

speaker reproduces bass frequencies
effectively, or select

SMALL

to send bass

frequencies to the other speakers or
subwoofer. If you didn’t connect a center
speaker, choose

NO

(the center channel is

sent to the other speakers).

Surr

– Select

LARGE

if your surround

speakers reproduce bass frequencies
effectively. Select

SMALL

to send bass

frequencies to the other speakers or
subwoofer. If you didn’t connect surround
speakers choose

NO

(the sound of the

surround channels is sent to the other
speakers).

SUB W.

– LFE signals and bass

frequencies of channels set to

SMALL

are

output from the subwoofer when

YES

is

selected (see notes below). Choose the

PLUS

setting if you want the subwoofer to

output bass sound continuously or you
want deeper bass (the bass frequencies
that would normally come out the front and

center speakers are also routed to the
subwoofer). If you did not connect a
subwoofer choose

NO

(the bass

frequencies are output from other
speakers).

3

When you’re finished, press RETURN.

You return to the Manual SP Setup menu.

Tip

• If you have a subwoofer and like lots of

bass, it may seem logical to select

LARGE

for your front speakers and

PLUS

for the

subwoofer. This may not, however, yield
the best bass results. Depending on the
speaker placement of your room you may
actually experience a decrease in the
amount of bass due to low frequency
cancellations. In this case, try changing
the position or direction of speakers. If you
can’t get good results, listen to the bass
response with it 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.

Crossover Network

• Default setting:

100Hz

This setting decides the cutoff between bass
sounds playing back from the speakers
selected as

LARGE

, or the subwoofer, and bass

sounds playing back from those selected as

SMALL

. It also decides where the cutoff will be

for bass sounds in the LFE channel.

2

Note

1 If you select

SMALL

for the front speakers, the subwoofer will automatically be fixed to

YES

. Also, the center and surround

speakers 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.
