x SPEAKER PATTERN (Speaker
setup pattern)
When “SP EASY SET UP” is set to “YES,”
select the speaker setup pattern by moving and
pressing the control key (You can also use +/–
and MEMORY/ENTER on the receiver).
Check your speaker pattern using the supplied
“Quick Setup Guide.”
x SUB WOOFER (Sub woofer)
• YES
If you have connected a sub woofer, select
“YES.”
• NO
If you have not connected a sub woofer,
select “NO.” This activates the bass
redirection circuitry and outputs the L.F.E.
signals from other speakers.
Tip
In order to take full advantage of the Dolby Digital
bass redirection circuitry, we recommend setting the
sub woofer’s cut off frequency as high as possible.
x FRONT SP (Front speakers)
• LARGE
If you connect large speakers that will
effectively reproduce bass frequencies,
select “LARGE.” Normally, select
“LARGE.” When the sub woofer is set to
“NO,” front speakers are automatically set to
“LARGE.”
• SMALL
If the sound is distorted, or you feel a lack of
surround effects when using multi channel
surround sound, select “SMALL” to activate
the bass redirection circuitry and output the
front channel bass frequencies from the sub
woofer. When the front speakers are set to
“SMALL,” the center, surround, and
surround back speakers are also
automatically set to “SMALL” (unless
previously set to “NO”).
x CENTER SP (Center speaker)
• LARGE
If you connect a large speaker that will
effectively reproduce bass frequencies,
select “LARGE.” Normally, select
“LARGE.” However, if the front speakers
are set to “SMALL,” you cannot set the
center speaker to “LARGE.”
• SMALL
If the sound is distorted, or you feel a lack of
surround effects when using multi channel
surround sound, select “SMALL” to activate
the bass redirection circuitry and output the
center channel bass frequencies from the
front speakers (if set to “LARGE”) or sub
woofer.
• NO
If you have not connected a center speaker,
select “NO,” the sound of the center channel
will be output from the front speakers.
x SURROUND SP (Surround
speaker)
The surround back speakers are all set to the
same setting.
• LARGE
If you connect large speakers that will
effectively reproduce bass frequencies,
select “LARGE.” Normally, select
“LARGE.” However, if the front speakers
are set to “SMALL,” you cannot set the
surround speakers to “LARGE.”
• SMALL
If the sound is distorted, or you feel a lack of
surround effects when using multi channel
surround sound, select “SMALL” to activate
the bass redirection circuitry and output the
surround channel bass frequencies from the
sub woofer or other “LARGE” speakers.
• NO
If you have not connected surround
speakers, select “NO.”
x SURR BACK SP (Surround back
speakers)
When the surround speakers are set to “NO,”
the surround back speakers are also
automatically set to “NO” and the setting
cannot be changed.
• DUAL
If you connect two surround back speakers,
select “DUAL.” The sound will be output to
a maximum of 7.1 channels.
