Sony STR-DH740 Operating Instructions - Page 62

• Large: If you connect large speakers that will effectively reproduce bass frequencies, select "Large". 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 bass frequencies of each channel from the subwoofer or other "Large" speakers. Note This function does not work when "Analog Direct" is being used. Tips • 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 subwoofer or other "Large" speakers. However, since bass sound has a certain amount of directionality, it is best not to cut it, 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 bass frequencies output from that speaker, set it to "Small". If the overall sound level is lower than you prefer, set all speakers to "Large". If there is not enough bass, you can use the equalizer to boost the bass levels. • The surround back speakers will be set to the same setting as that of the surround speakers. • When the front speakers are set to "Small", the center, surround, and surround back/front high speakers are also automatically set to "Small". • If you do not use the subwoofer, the front speakers are automatically set to "Large". x Crossover Freq.
