Speaker setting

Use this setting to specify your speaker
configuration (size, number of speakers).
1 Select SP SET from the SP SETUP menu.
2 Use to choose the speaker(s) that
you want to set then select a speaker size.
Use 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).
• Surround Back (SB) – Select the number
and size of surround back speakers you
have. 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.
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 speakers will automatically be set to NO.
• If you selected SB 2ND Z or SB BIAMP (in Surround back speaker setting on page 27) you can't adjust surround back settings.
• 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.
