This may not, however, yield the best bass results. Depending on the size and shape of your room you may actually experience a decrease in the amount of bass due to what is called "low frequency cancellations." If you have a subwoofer, listen to the bass response with the FRONT speakers set to LARGE and SMALL alternatively and let your ears judge which sounds best. The safest option in this case is to route all the bass sounds to the subwoofer by selecting SMALL for the FRONT speakers. Initial Set Up CENTER (default setting is LARGE) • Select LARGE if your speaker will reproduce bass frequencies effectively. • Select SMALL to send bass frequencies to the other speakers or the subwoofer. • If you did not connect a center speaker, select NO. In this case, the center channel is output from the front speakers. SURROUND (default setting is LARGE) • Select LARGE if your speakers will reproduce bass frequencies effectively. • Select SMALL to send bass frequencies to the other speakers or subwoofer. • If you did not connect surround speakers select NO. In this case, the sound of the surround channels is output from the front and center speakers. • If the SURROUND speakers are set to SMALL, the SURROUND BACK speakers will automatically be set to SMALL. SUBWOOFER (default setting is YES) • Select YES if you connected a subwoofer. • If you did not connect a subwoofer select NO. In this case, the bass frequencies are output from the front or surround speakers. • Choose the PLUS setting if you want stronger reproduction of deep bass sounds. • If you select PLUS the bass frequencies that would normally come out the front and center speakers are all routed to the subwoofer. SURROUND BACK (default setting is LARGE X2) NOTE: In order to use SURROUND BACK speakers you need to hook them up through an external amplifier (see p. 19 & 21) for more on this. • Select the number and size of SURROUND BACK speakers you have. You can choose one speaker, two or none. • If the FRONT speakers or the SURROUND speakers are set to SMALL, the SURROUND BACK speakers will automatically be set to SMALL. • If you chose THX in step 2 then the SURROUND BACK speakers can only be set to SMALL (or NO). • Select LARGE if your speakers will reproduce bass frequencies effectively. • Select SMALL to send bass frequencies to the other speakers or subwoofer. • If you did not connect surround back speakers select NO. 4 Select EXIT with the 5¥∞ buttons and press ENTER to return to the SYSTEM SETUP MENU.
