[. . . ] An alternative configuration for setting up front SMALL speakers with a subwoofer would be to follow the speaker manufacturer's instructions, wiring the SMALL speakers to the subwoofer's crossover and then connecting the subwoofer directly to the front speaker connection terminals. In this arrangement, the speakers would be classified as LARGE and the subwoofer setting would be OFF for all surround modes. No information will be lost during playback because the system knows to redirect the bass information to the front LARGE speakers. This configuration may be optimal for many users as it can improve the way the bass integrates into the listening room and ensure correct satellite speaker operation by using the speaker manufacturer's own crossovers. The following speaker options are available: FRONT SPEAKERS (small/large): This menu setting determines what kind of main front left and right speakers you are using. Use the LARGE setting if your main left and right speakers are full range designs with good bass response capability. If you are using minispeakers, use the SMALL setting. CENTER SPEAKER (small/large/none): Use the LARGE position (not available with SMALL front speakers) if your system's center channel speaker is capable of full-range, extended bass response. Use the SMALL position if your center channel speaker has more limited low frequency capability, or if you prefer that the bass be sent to the subwoofer. Select the NONE setting if your system does not have a center channel speaker. REAR SPEAKERS (small/large/none): If your rear surround speakers are capable of sustained low frequency output, select the LARGE setting (not available with SMALL front speakers). If your rear speakers have limited bass capability or if you would prefer that the bass go to a subwoofer, use the SMALL setting. If your system has no rear surround speakers, select the NONE setting (surround information will be added to the front speakers). SUBWOOFER (yes/no): Use the YES setting if your system has a subwoofer. If your system does not have a subwoofer, select NO. Note 1: Speaker configuration need only be done one time. The configuration will apply to all surround modes. Note 2: The available options during the configuration procedure may vary depending on the current surround mode setting. For this reason, select one of the surround modes, either Dolby Pro Logic or Dolby Digital, before setting the speaker configuration. Note 3: Dolby Digital and DTS modes are automatically activated based on software codes; there is no manual mode setting. Therefore, to use one of these modes for configuring the speaker settings, play a Dolby Digital or DTS digital recording to activate these modes and then press the SPEAKER MODE button to configure the speakers. There are two ways to configure your speaker system. One is the ON-SCREEN MENU system (described later in this manual). The other method uses the front panel SPEAKER MODE button: 1. [. . . ] Select a line in the menu using the UP/DOWN buttons on the remote or the NUMERIC Keypad front panel buttons ( ), then adjust the setting using the VOL UP/ DOWN remote buttons. Return to the MAIN menu by pressing the BACK button. Cancel the ON-SCREEN DISPLAY by pressing MENU. Note to Perfectionists: This calibration will be more accurate if you use a sound pressure level (SPL) meter to measure the output of each speaker instead of relying on your ear. SPL meters are available from electronics stores, or your authorized Rotel dealer may loan you one. [. . . ]
