5: Setting up the speakers (continued)
x SURROUND SP (Surround speaker size) � 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 did not connect surround speakers, select �NO�. When the surround speakers are set to �NO�, the surround back speakers are also automatically set to �NO�. x SURR BACK SP (Surround back speaker size)

Tip

The LARGE and SMALL settings for each speaker determine whether or not 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 has a certain amount of directionality, it 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. To adjust the equalizer, see page 45.

x SUB WOOFER (Sub woofer selection) � YES If you connect a sub woofer, select �YES�. � NO If you did not connect a sub woofer, select �NO�. This activates the bass redirection circuitry and outputs the LFE signals from other speakers.
Tip

When the surround speakers are set to �NO�, the surround back speaker is also automatically set to �NO� and the setting cannot be changed.
� 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 surround back 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 surround back channel bass frequencies from the front speakers (if set to �LARGE�) or sub woofer. � NO If you did not connect a surround back speaker, select �NO�.

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.

For advanced speaker setups

Use the CUSTOMIZE menu and set �MENU EXPAND� to �ON�. This enables advanced setups including those of the distances to the speakers and heights of the speakers. For details on �MENU EXPAND�, see page 46. For details on how to set the items, see page 48.
