Setting Up for Surround Sound

memo

If you have a subwoofer and like lots of bass, it may seem logical to select LARGE for your front
speakers and leave the subwoofer selected. This may not, however, yield the best bass results.
Depending on the size and shape of your room you may actually experience a decrease in the amount
of bass due to what is called "low frequency cancellations." If you have a subwoofer, listen to the
bass response with the front speakers set to LARGE and SMALL alternatively and let your ears judge
which sounds best.
If you have a subwoofer, the safest option is to route all the bass sounds to it by selecting SMALL for
the front speakers.

Certain bass sounds will play back from the subwoofer if
you selected it as YES (or PLUS) or from the front speak-
ers if you selected them as LARGE.
This setting decides where the cutoff will be between
those bass sounds playing back from the speaker selected
as above and the bass sounds for the entire soundtrack,
which play back from all speakers used.

Frequency is set to 80Hz and this screen doesn’t appear.
