NOTE: • Select "Large" or "Small" not according to the actual size of the speaker but according to the speaker's capacity for playing low frequency (approximately 80 Hz and below) 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. • Parameters Large...... Select this when using speakers that can fully reproduce low sounds of below 80 Hz. Small...... Select this when using speakers that cannot reproduce low sounds of below 80 Hz with sufficient volume. When this setting is selected, low frequencies of below 80 Hz are assigned to the subwoofer. None...... Select this when no speakers are installed. Yes/No.... Select "Yes" when a subwoofer is installed, "No" when a subwoofer is not installed. If the subwoofer has sufficient low frequency playback capacity, good sound can be achieved even when "Small" is set for the front, center and surround speakers. For the majority of speaker system configurations, using the SMALL setting for all five main speakers and Subwooofer On with a connected subwoofer will yield the best results.
