If you are not satisfied with the bass sounds from your speakers, 
you can change these settings according to your preference.

Set any THX speakers to SML (small).

LFE/BASS OUT

Low-frequency (bass) signals can be directed to the 
subwoofer and/or the front left and right speakers 
according to the characteristics of your system. This 
setting also determines the routing of the LFE (low-
frequency effect) signals found in Dolby Digital or DTS 
sources.
Choices: SWFR (subwoofer), FRONT, BOTH
THX recommendation: SWFR

• Select SWFR if you connect a subwoofer. LFE and 

low-frequency signals from other channels are directed 
to the subwoofer according to the speaker settings.

• Select FRONT if you do not use a subwoofer. LFE and 

low frequency signals from other channels are directed 
to the front speakers according to the speaker settings 
(even if you have previously set front speakers to 
SMALL).

• Select BOTH if you connect a subwoofer and you want 

to output low-frequency signals from front channels to 
both the front speakers and subwoofer. LFE and low-
frequency signals from other channels are also directed 
to the subwoofer according to the speaker settings. Use 
this function to reinforce low-frequency signals using 
the subwoofer when playing back sources such as CDs.

FRONT SP

Choices: SMALL, LARGE

• Select SMALL if you have small front speakers. The 

unit directs the low-frequency signals of the front 
channel to the speakers selected in LFE/BASS OUT.

• Select LARGE if you have large front speakers. The 

unit directs the entire range of the front left and right 
channel signals to the front left and right speakers.

CENTER SP

Choices: NONE, SML, LRG

• Select NONE if you do not have a center speaker. The 

unit directs all of the center channel signal to the front 
left and right speakers.

• Select SML if you have a small center speaker. The 

unit directs the low-frequency signals of the center 
channel to the speakers selected in LFE/BASS OUT.

• Select LRG if you have a large center speaker. The unit 

directs the entire range of the center channel signal to 
the center speaker.

SUR. L/R SP

Choices: NONE, SML, LRG

• Select NONE if you do not have surround speakers. 

This will set the unit to the Virtual CINEMA DSP 
mode (see page 43) and automatically set SB L/R SP to 
NONE.

• Select SML if you have small surround left and right 

speakers. The low-frequency signals of the surround 
channel are directed to the speakers selected in LFE/
BASS OUT.

• Select LRG if you have large surround left and right 

speakers or if a rear subwoofer is connected to the 
surround speakers. The entire range of the surround 
channel signal is directed to the surround left and right 
speakers.
