The setting is entered automatically. 5 Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you have set all of the items that follow. Speaker setup parameters The initial settings are underlined. x EASY SETUP XXX (Speaker easy setup) • YES If you want to set up your speakers automatically, select "YES".

Normally, select "LARGE". • SMALL If the sound is distorted, or you feel a lack of surround effects when using multi channel surround sound, select "SMALL" to activate the bass redirection circuitry and output the front channel bass frequencies from the sub woofer.
