Default Receiver & Sub Question

I have a receiver & sub set-up question. First, I have an Onkyo TX-SR500 receiver, Velodyne CHT8 sub and Klipsch Quintet3 speaker system. I have set the crossover on the receiver to120Hz and switched the ‘direct/internal x-over’ switch on the sub to ‘direct’. The frequency response on the 4 satellite speakers is 110Hz-23KHz and120Hz-23KHz for the center speaker. I am not aware of a speaker size setting (small, large) on my receiver. Do I have the crossover setting on the receiver correct and is it best to let the receiver control the crossover by switching the sub to ‘direct’ or do I switch the sub to ‘internal x-over’ and set the sub’s ‘low-pass crossover’ to 120 also? I read comments on the forum about setting speaker sizes on the receiver. Since mine does not have this option, do I need to consider a receiver upgrade? Thanks for your comments.
