Crossover Frequency Setting
Small speakers cannot reproduce the bass sound very well. So, if you have used a small speaker for any of the front, center, and rear channels, this receiver automatically reallocates the bass elements, originally assigned to the channel for which you have connected the small speaker, to another channel (for which you have connected the large speaker).
If you have selected “LARGE” for all speakers (see page 12), this function will not take effect. To use this function properly, you need to set this crossover frequency level according to the size of the small speaker connected.
On the front panel ONLY:
1. Press SETTING repeatedly until | T SETTING | |

“CROSSOVER FRQ” (Crossover |

The display changes to show the current setting.
2. Press CONTROL UP 5/DOWN ° CONTROL
DOWN UP
to select the crossover frequency level according to the size of the small speaker connected.
•Each time you press the button, the display changes to show the following:
