Speaker Con g Sub-Menu:
There are  ve speaker options in the Speaker Con-
 guration menu: Front, Center, Surround, Surround
Back (S.Back), and Subwoofer. The Front speakers
can be set to Large or Small. The Center and Sur-
round speakers can be set to Large, Small, or None.
The Surround Back speakers can be set to Large,
Small, or None, but can only be set to Large if the
Surround speakers were also set to Large. Lastly,
the Subwoofer can be set to Yes or None.
“Large” refers to a speaker that can accurately
reproduce low frequency audio approaching
20Hz. “Small” refers to a speaker that is unable
to reproduce audio at such low frequencies. We
recommend you follow the speaker manufacturer’s
suggestions for the speaker size (Large or Small)
and Speaker Crossover settings. However, we
understand that manufacturers often fail to provide
such recommendations.
In general, select Large only if your speakers are
capable of handling deep bass down to at least 30
Hz (see the frequency response speci cations for
your speaker and look at the lower number in the
response range) or if you are not using a subwoofer.
Otherwise, select Small and set the Speaker Cross-
over frequency to suit the speaker.
