Tip
The “LARGE” and “SMALL” settings for each
speaker determine whether or not the internal sound
processor will cut the bass signal from that channel.
When the bass is cut from a channel, the bass
redirection circuitry sends the corresponding bass
frequencies to the sub woofer or other “LARGE”
speakers.
However, it best not to cut them, if possible. Therefore,
even when using small speakers, you can set them to
“LARGE” if you want to output the bass frequencies
from that speaker. On the other hand, if you are using
a large speaker, but prefer not to have bass frequencies
output from that speaker, set it to “SMALL”.
If the overall sound level is lower than you prefer, set
all speakers to “LARGE”. If there is not enough bass,
you can use the equalizer to boost the bass levels. To
adjust the equalizer, see page 40.
x FRONT X.X meter*

If both front speakers are not placed an equal distance
