Is it a kit with small 'satellite' speakers or a full size?

it is full size, the fronts are floorstanders and the rears are bookshelf kind of size

These frequency settings sound more like some sort of graphic equalizer settings rather than speaker settings. I guess just play about with them until it sounds good to you.

No, the settings decide when the main speakers roll off to the sub, but as the OP doesn't have a sub he should set all his speakers to full range, or to the lowest possible Hz setting, and leave the low, mid and treble set flat.

I think that is an equaliser setting. But to answer your question, these:
