x CNT SPK (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.
x SUR SPK (Surround speakers)
The surround back speaker will be 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”.
x SB SPK (Surround back
speaker)
When the surround speakers are set to “NO”,
the surround back speaker is also
automatically set to “NO” and the setting
cannot be changed.
•YES
If you have connected a surround back
speaker, select “YES”.
•NO
If you have not connected a surround back
speaker, select “NO”.
Tip
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 sub woofer or other “LARGE”
speakers.
However, since bass sounds have a certain amount
of directionality, it is best not to cut them, 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. For details, see page 36.
