Note

• This function does not work when [Analog Direct] is being used.

Hint

• 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, you can set even a small speaker 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 output bass frequencies 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 (*2) speakers are also automatically set to [Small].
• If you do not use the subwoofer, the front speakers are automatically set to [Large].
• [Size] cannot be set when headphones are connected.
