Speaker setting

Use this setting to specify your speaker
configuration (size, number of speakers). It is a
good idea to make sure that the settings made
in Using the Quick Setup on page 10 are
correct.
1 Select SP SET from the SP SETUP menu.
2 Use (cursor left/right) to choose the
speaker(s) that you want to set then select a
speaker size.
Use (cursor up/down) to select the size
(and number) of each of the following
speakers:
• Front (F) – 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.
• Center (C) – 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 front speakers).
• Surround (S) – 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 front speakers or a subwoofer).
Note
1 If you select SMALL for the front speakers the subwoofer will automatically be fixed to YES. Also, the center, surround and
surround back 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.
2 • If the surround speakers are set to NO, the surround back speakers will automatically be set to NO.

• Surround Back (SB) – Select LARGE if your
surround back speakers reproduce bass
frequencies effectively. Select SMALL to
send bass frequencies to the other
speakers or subwoofer. If you didn't
connect surround back speakers choose
NO.
• Subwoofer (SW) – 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
1
speakers).
3 When you're finished, press RETURN.
• 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 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
