User manual ROTEL RT-830

[. . . ] 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. Read all the instructions before connecting or operating the component. Heed all warnings and safety information in these instructions and on the product itself. [. . . ] For optimum performance, it is necessary to tell the RT-830 the number and type of speakers in your system. RT-830 The following configuration instructions refer to LARGE and SMALL speakers. The size refers more to the bass performance of the speaker than its physical size. A full-range speaker that has extended bass response is considered LARGE. 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. 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. 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. 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.
