Multi channel surround setup
(continued)
When placing surround speakers behind you
Note
Do not place the center speaker farther away from the
listening position than the front speakers.
Tip
When setting up the surround back speaker, set the
speaker at least 3 feet behind the listening position. It
is recommended to place the speaker at an equal
distance from the surround left and right speakers. If
there is no space behind the listening position, set the
speaker above the listening position by placing it on a
stand or hanging it from the ceiling. To prevent
speaker damage or injury in case the speaker falls,
make sure that it is properly fixed in place.

• If you connect large speakers that will
effectively reproduce bass frequencies, select
“LARGE”. Normally, select “LARGE”.
• 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”).
