XXXX SET (Speaker easy setup)

automatically, select “EASY SET”. You can 
select a pre-defined speaker pattern (see the 
supplied “Easy Setup Guide”).
• NORM.

speaker manually, select “NORM. SET”.
SP PAT. X –X (Speaker setup pattern)

the speaker setup pattern. Turn –/+

 S.W. XXX (Sub woofer selection)
• YES
If you connect a sub woofer, select “YES”.
• NO
If you did not connect a sub woofer, select 
“NO”. The front speakers are automatically 
set to “LARGE” and you cannot change this 
setting. This activates the bass redirection 
circuitry and outputs the LFE signals from 
other speakers. 
Note
In order to take full advantage of the Dolby Digital 
bass redirection circuitry, we recommend that you set 
the cut off frequency on the sub woofer as high as 
possible.
x
 XXXXX (Front speakers size)
• LARGE
If you connect large speakers that will 
effectively reproduce bass frequencies, select 
“LARGE”. Normally, select “LARGE”.
• 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 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”).
