[. . . ] WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the unit to moisture or water. Do not allow foreign objects to get into the enclosure. If the unit is exposed to moisture, or a foreign object gets into the enclosure, immediately disconnect the power cord from the wall. Take the unit to a qualified service person for inspection and necessary repairs. [. . . ] A compact minispeaker with limited bass response or power handling is considered SMALL. While understanding the terms LARGE and SMALL is useful, it is probably more important to understand what these different speaker types mean in terms of system performance. This will help determine how you should configure your system. As a general rule, the system will redirect bass information away from SMALL speakers and send it to the LARGE speakers and/or the SUBWOOFER in your system. Things become a little more complex in systems with a subwoofer. For example, the system will generally not redirect bass information away from a LARGE speaker to the subwoofer. Thus, the decision you often need to make when faced with a choice of LARGE or SMALL is whether you want the particular speaker to play the deep bass or whether you would prefer that the deep bass be sent to the subwoofer. If you have invested in a subwoofer for your system, you might decide to send all of the bass to it, regardless of how capable the other speakers in the system may be. In this case, you would tell the RT-830 that all of your speakers are SMALL, without regard to how big they may actually be. 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. An indicator will appear in the front panel display. Quickly press the SPEAKER MODE button in succession to toggle through the available options for the FRONT speakers (large/small). The selection will appear in the front panel display. When the correct size configuration for your FRONT speakers appears, press the MEMORY button to store the setting. This will automatically take you to the configuration options for the next type of speaker, for example, the CENTER speaker. Repeat steps 3 and 4, pressing the SPEAKER MODE button quickly in succession until you reach the desired setting and then confirm the selection by pressing the MEMORY button. Continue until you have set the proper configuration for all speakers. Once complete, you can check the current settings at any time by briefly pushing the SPEAKER MODE button repeatedly to toggle through the various speaker settings.

[. . . ] If so, adjust the speaker's volume levels up or down to match the front speakers using the VOL UP/ DOWN remote buttons. Continue switching among the speakers and adjusting until the center speaker and both of the rear speakers sound as loud as the front speakers. Return to the MAIN menu by pressing the BACK button.
