A subwoofer with sufficient low frequency playback capability can
better handle deep bass than most main and surround speakers,
and the system’s overall performance will be greatly enhanced
when “Small” is set for the main (front) and surround speakers.
When “Front” is set to “Small”, “Subwoofer” is automatically set
to “Yes”, and when “Subwoofer” is set to “No”, “Front” is
automatically set to “Large”.

• Select “Large” or “Small” not according to the actual size of the speaker
but according to the speaker’s capacity for playing low frequency
(bass sound below the frequency set for the Crossover Frequency)
signals. If you do not know, try comparing the sound at both settings
(setting the volume to a level low enough so as not to damage the
speakers) to determine the proper setting.
