x SP. PAT. X –X (Speaker setup pattern)
When you select “EASY SET”, select the
speaker setup pattern. Turn the –/+ jog dial to
select the speaker setup pattern and press
ENTER to enter the selection. Check your
speaker pattern using the supplied “Easy Setup
Guide”.
x S.W. XXX (Sub woofer selection)
• YES
If you connect a sub woofer, select “YES”.
• NO
If you did not connect a sub woofer, select
“NO”. The front speakers are automatically
set to “LARGE” and you cannot change this
setting. This activates the bass redirection
circuitry and outputs the LFE signals from
other speakers.
• In order to take full advantage of the Dolby
Digital bass redirection circuitry, we
recommend that you set the cut off frequency
on the sub woofer as high as possible.
x XXXXX (Front speakers size)
• LARGE
If you connect large speakers that will
effectively reproduce bass frequencies, select
“LARGE”. Normally, select “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 XXXXX (Center speaker size)
• 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.
