Preparations

SUBWOOFER ON/PLUS/OFF setting mode

Sets whether the SUBWOOFER is used or not. Also, when used you have the option to use the “PLUS” setting.

LFE attenuator setting mode

Dolby Digital and DTS audio sources include ultra-low bass tones. Set the LFE attenuator as needed to prevent the ultra-low bass tones from distorting the sound from the speakers.

Press % or to select subwoofer ON, PLUS or OFF.

MEMO:

The initial setting is “ON”.

Setting the front speaker size to “Small” in the SPEAKERS setting mode automatically locks the subwoofer in the “ON” position.

Use the PLUS for extra bass. When you use PLUS you will get the bass sounds from the subwoofer even if the front speakers are set to “Large”.

If you select “OFF” in this setting you won’t be able to select subwoofer in the surround back speaker setting above.

Press % or to set the attenuation level (0 dB, 10 dB or ** dB()).

0 dB 10 dB(display "**")

MEMO:

The initial setting is “0 dB”.

When ∞ is selected (** appears in the display), LFE is not available.

Low cut filter ON/OFF setting mode

Turn the low cut filter ON when distorted sound is output through the subwoofer.

Crossover frequency setting mode

Crossover frequency is the point where the receiver divides the high and low sounds (the frequencies) between the speakers. Since most smaller speakers can’t handle deep bass tones, this setting allows you to send those sounds to the subwoofer (or speakers set to “Large” if you don’t have a subwoofer) instead of the speakers set to “Small” in your system. Choose the point at which you want the frequency routed to the subwoofer (or “Large” speakers).

We recommend setting this to 200 Hz if smaller bookshelf-type speakers are used for your “Small” speakers.

Press % or to select low cut filter ON or

OFF.

MEMO:

The initial setting is “OFF”.

If the SUBWOOFER is set to “OFF” in the SUBWOOFER ON/OFF setting mode, the low cut filter cannot be set.

FRONT speakers distance setting mode

Sets the distance from the FRONT speakers to the listening position.

Press % or to specify the crossover frequency for your small speakers (100 Hz, 150 Hz or 200 Hz).

100Hz 150Hz

200Hz

100 Hz

Sends bass frequencies below 100 Hz to the subwoofer (or “Large” speakers).

150 Hz

Sends bass frequencies below 150 Hz to the subwoofer (or “Large” speakers).

200 Hz

Sends bass frequencies below 200 Hz to the subwoofer (or “Large” speakers).

MEMO:

“Large” in SPEAKERS setting mode, crossover

18frequency cannot be set because there are no “Small”

En

CENTER speaker from the main listening position (within a 30 foot range).
