surround back speakers are also automatically set to "SMALL" (unless previously set to "NO"). x CENTER SP (Center speaker) • LARGE If you connect a large speaker that will effectively reproduce bass frequencies, select "LARGE." Normally, select "LARGE." However, if the front speakers are set to "SMALL," you cannot set the center speaker to "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 center channel bass frequencies from the front speakers (if set to "LARGE") or sub woofer. • NO If you have not connected a center speaker, select "NO," the sound of the center channel will be output from the front speakers. • MIX If you have not connected a center speaker, select "MIX." The sound of the center channel will be output without affecting sound quality. You can assign the sound for the center speaker output to the front speaker output by changing the setting of "CENTER" in Level Settings menu. x SURROUND SP (Surround speaker) The surround back speakers will be set to the same setting. • LARGE If you connect large speakers that will effectively reproduce bass frequencies, select "LARGE." Normally, select "LARGE." However, if the front speakers are set to "SMALL," you cannot set the surround speakers to "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 surround channel bass frequencies from the sub woofer or other "LARGE" speakers. • NO If you have not connected surround speakers, select "NO." x SUR BACK SP (Surround back speakers) When the surround speakers are set to "NO," the surround back speakers are also automatically set to "NO" and the setting cannot be changed. • DUAL If you connect two surround back speakers, select "DUAL." The sound will be output to a maximum of 7.1 channels. • SINGLE If you connect only one surround back speaker, select "SINGLE." The sound will be output to a maximum of 6.1 channels. • NO If you have not connected surround back speakers, select "NO." • ZONE 2 If you use the surround back speaker in zone 2, select "ZONE 2." When you select "ZONE 2," the input to the SURROUND BACK jacks of the MULTI CHANNEL INPUT is invalid (page 22). • BI-AMP If you connect front speakers in a biamplifier configuration, select "BI-AMP" (page 101). Tip The "LARGE" and "SMALL" settings for each speaker determine whether the internal sound processor will cut the bass signal from that channel. When the bass is cut from a channel, the bass redirection circuitry sends the corresponding bass frequencies to the sub woofer or other "LARGE" speakers. However, since bass sound has a certain amount of directionality, it is best not to cut them, if possible. Therefore, even when using small speakers, you can set them to "LARGE" if you want to output the bass frequencies from that speaker. On the other hand, if you are using a large speaker, but prefer not to have continued 67GB Amplifier Operations
