SYSTEM menu parameters
x SW SPK (Subwoofer)
• NO
If you have not connected a subwoofer,
select “NO”. This activates the bass
redirection circuitry and outputs the LFE
signals from other speakers.
• YES
If you have connected a subwoofer, select
“YES”.
Tip
In order to take full advantage of the Dolby Digital
bass redirection circuitry, we recommend setting the
subwoofer’s cut off frequency as high as possible.
x FRT SPK (Front speakers)
• SMALL
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
subwoofer. When the front speakers are set
to “SMALL”, the center and surround
speakers are also automatically set to
“SMALL” (unless previously set to “NO”).
• LARGE
If you connect large speakers that will
effectively reproduce bass frequencies,
select “LARGE”. Normally, select
“LARGE”. When the subwoofer is set to
“NO”, the front speakers are automatically
set to “LARGE”.
x CNT SPK (Center speaker)
• NO
If you have not connected a center speaker,
select “NO”. The sound of the center
channel will be output from the front
speakers.
• SMALL
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
center channel bass frequencies from the
front speakers (if set to “LARGE”) or
subwoofer.
• LARGE
If you connect a large speaker that will
effectively reproduce bass frequencies,
select “LARGE”. Normally, select
“LARGE”. However, if the front speakers
are set to “SMALL”, you cannot set the
center speaker to “LARGE”.
