SPEAKER PATTERN (Speaker 
setup pattern)
When “SP EASY SET UP” is set to “YES,” 
select the speaker setup pattern by moving and 
pressing the control key (You can also use +/– 
and MEMORY/ENTER on the receiver).
Check your speaker pattern using the supplied 
“Quick Setup Guide.”
SUB WOOFER (Sub woofer)
• YES
If you have connected a sub woofer, select 
“YES.”
• NO
If you have not connected a sub woofer, 
select “NO.” This activates the bass 
redirection circuitry and outputs the L.F.E. 
signals from other speakers.
Tip
In order to take full advantage of the Dolby Digital 
bass redirection circuitry, we recommend setting the 
sub woofer’s cut off frequency as high as possible.
FRONT SP (Front speakers)
• LARGE
If you connect large speakers that will 
effectively reproduce bass frequencies, 
select “LARGE.” Normally, select 
“LARGE.” When the sub woofer is set to 
“NO,” front speakers are automatically set to 
“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”).
CENTER SP (Center speaker)
• 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.”
• 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 sub 
woofer.
• NO 
If you have not connected a center speaker, 
select “NO,” the sound of the center channel 
will be output from the front speakers.
SURROUND SP (Surround 
speaker)
The surround back speakers are all set to the 
same setting.
• LARGE
If you connect large speakers that will 
effectively reproduce bass frequencies, 
select “LARGE.” Normally, select 
“LARGE.” However, if the front speakers 
are set to “SMALL,” you cannot set the 
surround speakers to “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 
surround channel bass frequencies from the 
sub woofer or other “LARGE” speakers.
• NO
If you have not connected surround 
speakers, select “NO.”
SURR BACK SP (Surround back 
speakers)
When the surround speakers are set to “NO,” 
the surround back speakers are also 
automatically set to “NO” and the setting 
cannot be changed.
• DUAL
If you connect two surround back speakers, 
select “DUAL.” The sound will be output to 
a maximum of 7.1 channels.
