1 If you select SMALL for the front speakers, the subwoofer will automatically be fixed to YES. Also, the center, surround,

surround back and front height speakers can’t be set to LARGE if the front speakers are set to SMALL. In this case, all bass

frequencies are sent to the subwoofer.

2 • You can only adjust this setting when PRE OUT is set to HEIGHT.

• If the surround speakers are set to NO, the front height speakers will automatically be set to NO.

3 You can only adjust the this setting when PRE OUT is set to SURR.BACK.

4 • 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.

5 If you can’t get good bass results, listen to the bass response with the subwoofer 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.
