Note
When one of the sound fields for music is selected,
no sound is output from the subwoofer if all the
speakers are set to “LARGE”. However, the sound
will be output from the subwoofer if the digital input
signal contains LFE signals, or if the front or
surround speakers are set to “SMALL”, the sound
field for movie is selected, or “Portable Audio” is
selected.

Tips
• The “LARGE” and “SMALL” settings for each
speaker determine whether the internal sound
processor will cut the bass signal from that
channel.
When the bass is cut from a channel, the bass
redirection circuitry sends the corresponding bass
frequencies to the subwoofer or other “LARGE”
speakers.
However, since bass sound has a certain amount of
directionality, it is best not to cut it, if possible.
Therefore, even when using small speakers, you
can set them to “LARGE” if you want to output the
bass frequencies from that speaker. On the other
hand, if you are using a large speaker, but prefer not
to have bass frequencies output from that speaker,
set it to “SMALL”.
If the overall sound level is lower than you prefer,
set all speakers to “LARGE”. If there is not enough
bass, you can use the equalizer to boost the bass
levels.
