06 The System Setup menu • Center - Select LARGE if your center speaker reproduces bass frequencies effectively, or select SMALL to send bass frequencies to the other speakers or subwoofer. If you didn't connect a center speaker, choose NO (the center channel is sent to the other speakers). • Front Height1 - Select LARGE if your front height speakers reproduce bass frequencies effectively. Select SMALL to send bass frequencies to the other speakers or subwoofer. If you didn't connect front height speakers choose NO. • Surr - Select LARGE if your surround speakers reproduce bass frequencies effectively. Select SMALL to send bass frequencies to the other speakers or subwoofer. If you didn't connect surround speakers choose NO (the sound of the surround channels is sent to the other speakers). • Surr. Back2 - Select the number of surround back speakers you have (one, two or none).3 Select LARGE if your surround back speakers reproduce bass frequencies effectively. Select SMALL to send bass frequencies to the other speakers or subwoofer. If you didn't connect surround back speakers choose NO. • Subwoofer - LFE signals and bass frequencies of channels set to SMALL are output from the subwoofer when YES is selected (see notes below). Choose the PLUS setting if you want the subwoofer to output bass sound continuously or you want deeper bass (the bass frequencies that would normally come out the front and center speakers are also routed to the subwoofer). If you did not connect a subwoofer choose NO (the bass frequencies are output from other speakers). 3 When you're finished, press RETURN. You return to the Manual SP Setup menu. Tip • If you have a subwoofer and like lots of bass, it may seem logical to select LARGE for your front speakers and PLUS for the subwoofer. This may not, however, yield the best bass results. Depending on the speaker placement of your room you may actually experience a decrease in the amount of bass due to low frequency cancellations. In this case, try changing the position or direction of speakers. If you can't get good results, listen to the bass response with it set to PLUS and YES or the front speakers set to LARGE and SMALL alternatively and let your ears judge which sounds best. If you're having problems, the easiest option is to route all the bass sounds to the subwoofer by selecting SMALL for the front speakers. Note 1 • You can only adjust the Front Height setting when Pre Out Setting is set to Height. • If the surround speakers are set to NO, the front height speakers will automatically be set to NO. 2 You can only adjust the Surr. Back setting when Pre Out Setting is set to Surr. Back. 3 • If the surround speakers are set to NO, the surround back speakers will automatically be set to NO. • If you select one surround back speaker only, make sure that additional amplifier is hooked up to the PRE OUT L (Single) terminal. 44 En
