Large: Select when the
speaker supports
low-frequency (under

Small: Select when the speaker does not support low-frequency
reproduction.
When playing discs recorded with Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD, even if
you select “Small”, audio output will have an effect similar to when
“Large” is selected.
In order to make an ideal listening environment, settings of speaker
sizes may be automatically adjusted.
For example, if the subwoofer is set to “No”, the front speakers will
automatically be set to “Large”. (In this case, we recommend
connecting a speaker that can reproduce bass below 100 Hz.)

If you have to place the center, surround and surround back speakers
closer to the seating position, adjust the delay time to make up for the
difference.
If either distance

relevant table and change to the recommended setting.
