x SB SPK (Surround back speakers) When the surround speakers are set to "NO", the surround back speakers are also automatically set to "NO" and the setting cannot be changed. • NO If you have not connected a surround back speaker, select "NO". • SINGLE If you connect only one surround back speaker, select "SINGLE". The sound will be output to a maximum of 6.1 channel. • DUAL If you connect two surround back speakers, select "DUAL". The sound will be output to a maximum of 7.1 channel. 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 38. x FRT DIST. (Front speaker distance) Lets you set the distance from your listening position to the front speakers (A).

SB SPK (Surround back
speakers)
When the surround speakers are set to “NO”,
the surround back speakers are also
automatically set to “NO” and the setting
cannot be changed.
• NO
If you have not connected a surround back
speaker, select “NO”.
• SINGLE
If you connect only one surround back
speaker, select “SINGLE”. The sound will
be output to a maximum of 6.1 channel.
• DUAL
If you connect two surround back speakers,
select “DUAL”. The sound will be output to
a maximum of 7.1 channel.
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 38.
