Note
1 • In the display, F, C, and S refer to front, center, and surround speakers respectively. Speaker size is denoted as L for large
speakers, S for small speakers, and ∗ (asterisk) if no speaker is connected.
• If you're not using a subwoofer, we recommend setting the front speakers to L.
2 • If you chose a small front speaker setting, SW YES is automatically set and locked.
• You can only select the PLUS setting if the front speakers are set to L.
3 If all speakers (front, center, and surround) are set to L, the crossover frequency can't be set because there are no S speakers
(∗∗∗ appears in the display). For more on selecting the speaker sizes, see Speaker setting above.
