 Choose the 

PLUS setting if you 

want the subwoofer to output bass sound 
continuously or you want deeper bass (the 
bass frequencies that would normally 
come out the front and center speakers are 
also routed to the subwoofer). If you did not 
connect a subwoofer choose 

NO (the bass 

frequencies are output from other 
speakers).

1 If you select 

SMALL for the front speakers, the subwoofer will automatically be fixed to YES. Also, the center, surround, 

surround back and front height speakers can’t be set to 

LARGE if the front speakers are set to SMALL. In this case, all bass 

frequencies are sent to the subwoofer.

2 • You can only adjust this setting when 

PRE OUT is set to HEIGHT.

• If you select one surround back speaker only, make sure that additional amplifier is hooked up to the 

PRE OUT L (Single) 

terminal. 

5 If you can’t get good bass results, listen to the bass response with the subwoofer set to 

PLUS and YES or the front speakers 

set to 

LARGE and SMALL alternatively and let your ears judge which sounds best. If you’re having problems, the easiest option 

is to route all the bass sounds to the subwoofer by selecting 

SMALL for the front speakers.
