Advanced Setup - Part 2 • 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. 2 Parameters Large: Select this when using speakers that can fully reproduce deep bass well below 80 Hz. Small: Select this when using speakers that are not capable of handling deep bass well below 80 Hz. Most home theater main and surround speakers perform best when configured as SMALL. Deep bass content in any channel with a SMALL speaker is routed to the subwoofer(s). None: Select this when no speakers are installed. Yes / No: Select "Yes" when a subwoofer is installed, "No" when a subwoofer is not installed. 2spkrs / 1spkr: Select the number of speakers to be used for the surround back channel. 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. To take full advantage of the performance of the Home THX certified speaker systems, set the front, center and surround speaker size parameters to "Small" and the subwoofer to "Yes". For the majority of speaker system configurations, using the SMALL setting for all main and surround speakers and connected subwoofer(s) set to ON will yield the best results. 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". Setting the low frequency distribution • Set the subwoofer mode according to the speaker system being used. • Select the play mode that provides bass reproduction with body. 1 Press the CURSOR D or H button to select the "Subwoofer Setup" at the "Speaker Setup" menu, then press the ENTER button. • Display the "Subwoofer Setup" screen. 2 Press the CURSOR F or G button to select the setting. LFE-THX-: For any channel(s) that are set to LARGE, low frequencies in that channel's corresponding source are directed to that loudspeaker only. Low frequencies that are directed to the subwoofer(s) are from the program source LFE channel, and from other channels where the speakers are set to SMALL. THX is recommended in this play mode so that bass interference is less likely to occur in the room. LFE+Main: Low frequencies from speaker channels that have been set to LARGE are reproduced from those speakers as well as from the subwoofer(s). Depending upon the characteristics of the LARGE main speakers, this mode may provide a more even low frequency response throughout the listening room. 3 Press the ENTER button to enter the setting. • The "Speaker Setup" menu reappears. 114

Parameters
Large:
Select this when using speakers that can fully reproduce
deep bass well below 80 Hz.
Yes / No:
Select “Yes” when a subwoofer is installed, “No” when a
subwoofer is not installed.
Small:
Select this when using speakers that are not capable of
handling deep bass well below 80 Hz. Most home theater
main and surround speakers perform best when configured
as SMALL. Deep bass content in any channel with a
SMALL speaker is routed to the subwoofer(s).
None:
Select this when no speakers are installed.
2spkrs / 1spkr:
Select the number of speakers to be used for the surround
back channel.
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.
To take full advantage of the performance of the Home THX
certified speaker systems, set the front, center and
surround speaker size parameters to “Small” and the
subwoofer to “Yes”.
For the majority of speaker system configurations, using
the SMALL setting for all main and surround speakers and
connected subwoofer(s) set to ON will yield the best
results.
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”.

LFE–THX–:
For any channel(s) that are set to LARGE, low
frequencies in that channel’s corresponding source
are directed to that loudspeaker only. Low
frequencies that are directed to the subwoofer(s)
are from the program source LFE channel, and
from other channels where the speakers are set to
SMALL. THX is recommended in this play mode so
that bass interference is less likely to occur in the
room.
LFE+Main:
Low frequencies from speaker channels that have
been set to LARGE are reproduced from those
speakers as well as from the subwoofer(s).
Depending upon the characteristics of the LARGE
main speakers, this mode may provide a more even
low frequency response throughout the listening
room.
•
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
