Amplifier Operations x CNT SPK (Center speaker) • NO If you have not connected a center speaker, select "NO". The sound of the center channel will be output from the front speakers. • 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. • 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". x SUR SPK (Surround speakers) The surround back speaker will be set to the same setting. • NO If you have not connected surround speakers, select "NO". • 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 speaker that is set to "LARGE". • 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". 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. • NO If you have not connected a surround back speaker, select "NO". • YES If you connect a surround back speaker, select "YES". 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 40. x FL DIST. (Front left speaker distance) x FR DIST. (Front right speaker distance) Lets you set the distance from your listening position to the front speakers (A). If both front speakers are not placed an equal distance from your listening position, set the distance to the closest speaker. continued 49US

Amplifier Operations
x
CNT SPK (Center speaker)
• NO
If you have not connected a center speaker,
select “NO”. The sound of the center
channel will be output from the front
speakers.
• 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.
• 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”.
x
SUR SPK (Surround speakers)
The surround back speaker will be set to the
same setting.
• NO
If you have not connected surround
speakers, select “NO”.
• 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 speaker that is set to
“LARGE”.
• 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”.
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.
• NO
If you have not connected a surround back
speaker, select “NO”.
• YES
If you connect a surround back speaker,
select “YES”.
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 40.
x
FL DIST. (Front left speaker
distance)
x
FR DIST. (Front right speaker

Lets you set the distance from your listening
position to the front speakers (
A
). If both
front speakers are not placed an equal distance
from your listening position, set the distance to
the closest speaker.
