The Speaker Setup menu

This receiver allows you to make detailed settings to optimize
the surround sound performance. You only need to make
these settings once (unless you change the placement of
your current speaker system or add new speakers).

set then select a speaker size.
Use / to select the size (and number) of each of the
following speakers:
• F (Front) –Do not change from SMALL.
• C (Center) – Select SMALL if you connect a center. If you
didn't connect a center speaker, choose NO (the center
channel is sent to the other speakers).
• S (Surround) – Select SMALL if you connect a surround
speakers. If you didn't connect surround speakers choose
NO (the sound of the surround channels is sent to the
other speakers).
• SB (Surround Back) – Select the number of surround
back speakers you have (one (X1), two (X2) or none). If
you didn't connect surround back speakers choose NO.
If you select one surround back speaker only, make sure
-
that additional amplifier is hooked up to the PRE OUT L
(Single) terminal.
• SW (Subwoofer) – 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).
4 When you're finished, press RETURN.
You return to the Speaker Setup menu.
Note
• 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 (L) if the front speakers are set to SMALL. In this
case, all bass frequencies are sent to the subwoofer.
• If the surround speakers are set to NO, the surround back
speakers will automatically be set to NO.
• 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.
• LARGE setting is not use with this system. If each speaker
is connected, select the SMALL setting.
• Do not change the crossover frequency from 200 Hz.

Crossover Network

• Default setting: 200Hz
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.
• For more on selecting the speaker sizes, see Speaker
Setting above.
