NOTE:
•Select the speaker size not by the physical size of the speaker
but by the speaker’ s capacity to reproduce low frequencies of
100 Hz or less. If you do not know, determine the best setting by
comparing the sound when the setting is set to  “Small” and
“Large”, keeping the volume low enough to prevent damage to
the speaker.
NOTE:
• Select  “Large” or “Small” not according to the actual size of the
speaker but according to the speaker’ s capacity for playing low
frequency (approximately 100 Hz and below) signals. If you do
not know, try comparing the sound at both settings (setting the
volume to a level low enough so as not to damage the speakers)
to determine the proper setting.
Parameters
Large…… Select this when using speakers that can fully reproduce
low sounds of below 100 Hz. 
Small…… Select this when using speakers that do not provide
sufficient volume for playing low frequencies of 100 Hz
and less. When this setting is made, frequencies below
the frequency set at the subwoofer frequency setting
are assigned to the subwoofer.
Yes/No…. Select  “Ye s” when a subwoofer is installed, “No” when
a subwoofer is not installed.
If the subwoofer has sufficient low frequency playback capacity, good sound can be achieved even when “Small” is set for the
front, speakers.
For the majority of speaker system configurations, using the SMALL setting for main speakers and Subwoofer On with a
connected subwoofer will yield the best results.
Subwoofer (SW FREQ.) frequency
• For the subwoofer frequency at the speaker setting screen, set
the bass crossover frequency for playback from the subwoofer.
• Select  “80 Hz”,  “120 Hz”,  “150 Hz” or “180 Hz” (-6 dB for
each). Bass sound below these frequencies is played from the
subwoofer. (This is set to “150 Hz” by factory default.)
Assignment of low frequencies
• In the Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic  II, DTS, and virtual surround
modes, the low frequency signals for channels whose speaker
settings are set to “Small” are assigned to the subwoofer. The
low frequencies of channels set to  “Large” are played from
those channels.
(If set to “120 Hz”, channels set to “Small” play sounds of 120
Hz and greater, while bass frequencies of under 120 Hz are
played from the subwoofer.)
• In surround modes other than the ones listed above, low
frequencies below the frequency set at the subwoofer frequency
setting are played from the subwoofer regardless of whether the
speakers are set to “Large” or “Small”.
• Set the subwoofer frequency according to the low frequency
playback abilities of your speakers and subwoofer.
Subwoofer mode
• The subwoofer mode setting is only valid when “LARGE” is set
for the front speakers and  “YES” is set for the subwoofer in the
“SPEAKER CONFIGURATION” settings.
• When the “LFE+MAIN” playback mode is selected, the low
frequency signal range of channels set to  “LARGE” are produced
simultaneously from those channels and the subwoofer channel.
In this playback mode, the low frequency range expand more
uniformly through the room, but depending on the size and shape
of the room, interference may result in a decrease of the actual
volume of the low frequency range.
• Selection of the “LFE” play mode will play the low frequency
signal range of the channel selected with “LARGE” from that
channel only. Therefore, the low frequency signal range that are
played from the subwoofer channel are only the low frequency
signal range of LFE (only during Dolby Digital or DTS signal
playback) and the channel specified as “SMALL” in the setup
menu.
• Select the play mode that provides bass reproduction with body.
• When the subwoofer is set to  “YES”, bass sound is output from
the subwoofer regardless of the subwoofer mode setting in
surround modes other than Dolby/DTS.
