Speaker settings page
The size and number of loudspeakers are defi ned on this page
of the OSD.
– A ‘LARGE’ speaker is one that is capable of handling a full
range signal (i.e. 20Hz–20kHz).
– A ‘SMALL’ speaker is one that is not capable of
reproducing a deep bass signal (i.e. below 100Hz), for
example a satellite speaker.
– ‘ON’ is used when a speaker is present and active and
receives the intended audio information.
– ‘OFF’ is used when a speaker is absent or inactive. Audio
signals intended for speakers set to OFF are redirected to
the main speakers.
Recommended speaker settings for different systems
To confi gure a ‘Sub/Sat’ system (i.e. a set of small speakers
with a subwoofer), your speaker settings should be ‘SMALL’ for
all speakers, with Subwoofer turned ‘ON’.
Some small but high performance speakers are capable of
handling a signal below 100Hz: in this instance, set them to
‘LARGE’ (despite their small physical size). If in doubt, please
check the specifi cations in your speaker’s handbook or ask your
dealer.
If you don’t have a centre speaker, set CENTER to ‘OFF’. This
directs the centre speaker information to the front left and right
speakers, ensuring that dialogue is clearly reproduced.
The SUBWOOFER STEREO setting is only relevant for music
reproduction and does not affect sound reproduction for movies.
If you have small speakers on the front, set SUBWOOFER
STEREO to ‘ON’ to give the extra bass reinforcement required
for music. If your front speakers are large, or of high quality and
performance, you may fi nd music is reproduced more accurately
with the Subwoofer turned ‘OFF’.
