Setting the crossover frequency

To reproduce low frequencies between 80 Hz and 120 Hz in an optimum condition, set the crossover frequency according to the low-frequency reproduction capabilities of the subwoofer and other speakers (front, center and surround).

1.Press SPEAKER ADJUST twice.

The current setting is displayed.

2.Press PRESET/ADJUST ™/£ repeatedly to select the crossover frequency.

Select from 80 Hz, 100 Hz and 120 Hz.

Refer to the following example for deciding the setting.

•When other speakers than the subwoofer are relatively small (when they cannot reproduce low frequencies sufficiently): 120 Hz

•When other speakers than the subwoofer are relatively large (when they can reproduce low frequencies sufficiently): 80 Hz

If you want more accurate setting, refer to the instruction manuals of the speakers and perform the setting according to their reproduce frequency bands. Also listen to the actual sound and set to the high position (120 Hz) if you feel that the sound from the subwoofer is not enough or to the low position (80 Hz) if you feel that the sound is loud.
