lowed by the [SETUP] button on

 

the remote controller.

Use the Down [ ] button to

 

select “Crossover,” and then use

Note:

For a more accurate setting, look up the frequency response in the manuals supplied with your speakers and set accordingly. In addition, listen to some music that you know well and choose a higher crossover fre- quency if you think there’s not enough sound coming from the subwoofer; a lower setting if you think there’s too much.

This function can be set only if the Subwoofer setting (step 3) is set to Yes, and the Front setting (step 4) is set to Large in the Speaker Con- figuration on page 32.
