How do I know when to select “Large or Small” for my main speakers (Left, Center, Right) when Im first setting up my surround sound system?
If your system has a subwoofer, select Subwoofer “Yes” or “On”. Then, check the main (left/right) speakers settings next. If you are using very large main speakers (some models even include powered “subwoofer” sections), you can select Large. Deep bass present in the program’s left and right front channels will only be routed to the left and right speakers. For most systems, even if you are using larger left and right speakers, if you have a sub, choose Small for the left/right and any deep bass present in the program material will be routed to the subwoofer. This usually produces better sound, as the subwoofer is generally going to a better job of providing clean, deep and louder bass than can be obtained from conventional full range speakers. Always choose Small for center channel (we know of no dedicated center channel speakers that are flat to 20 Hz). Choosing Large setting for the center channel will always result in reduced bass, as well as substantially degraded dialog quality.
