[. . . ] In this case, you would tell the RSX-965 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. 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. 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. 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. Select the Dolby Pro Logic surround mode with the front panel buttons or by playing a Dolby Digital or DTS digital source. Press and hold the SPEAKER MODE button for at least 2 seconds to activate the FRONT speaker configuration. Quickly press the SPEAKER MODE button in succession to toggle through the available options for the FRONT speakers (large/small). [. . . ] While seated in the normal listening location, switch the test tone to the various speakers. Using the front speakers as a fixed reference (there is no adjustment for the front), listen to hear if the center speaker or the rear speakers are noticeably louder or quieter than the front speakers. 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. [. . . ]
