Settings (Speaker Setup 1)
Speaker Size (SP Size)
Select the size (Large* or Small) independently for the L/R
(front pair of speakers), the C (center speaker) and the SR/SL
(surround pair of speakers). Turn the subwoofer (SW) ON* or
OFF (if you have no subwoofer).
Large *
Select this when the connected speakers can fully reproduce
low frequency sounds.
Small
Select this when the connected speakers are relatively small
and cannot fully reproduce low frequency sounds.
When this setting is selected, bass frequencies are output
from the subwoofer (if no subwoofer is connected, from the
front speakers).
OFF
Select this when no speaker is connected. The sound is
output from the front (or surround) speakers.
< When the front speaker is set to “Small”, the subwoofer is
set to “ON” automatically. You cannot set the subwoofer
“OFF”.
ON (subwoofer only)
Select this when a subwoofer is connected.
< For the center and surround pair options, if these speakers are
not physically present, you can select OFF to prevent any
output from those channels (you cannot turn off the front L/R
pair). Any speakers turned off will downmix (if this option is
selected) to the other enabled channels.
Speaker levels (SP Level)
Use this to set the relative levels of the speakers. You can set
the L/R pair together, and the center, and surround rear pair
independently, as well as the subwoofer. The maximum value
you can set here is +6dB and the minimum is –12dB, with
settings made in 0.5dB increments. The default setting is 0dB.
