*@ About speaker
sizes (LARGE and SMALL)
Internally,
the LARGE and SMALL settings for each speaker
determine
whether
or not 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"
speaker
However,
since bass sounds have a certain amount of
directionality
it 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 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 To adjust the equalizer
