Crossover frequency setting

Setting up the receiver

•If you chose the small front speaker setting, SW YES is automatically set and locked.

•You can only select the PLUS setting if the front speakers are set to L.

•Default setting: 100 Hz

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, you can send these sounds to the subwoofer (or if you don’t have a subwoofer, the large (L) speakers in your system) instead of the speakers set to small (S) in your setup. Choose the point at which you want the frequency routed to the subwoofer (or L speakers).

We recommend setting this to 200 Hz if your S speakers are smaller bookshelf-type speakers.

•Use ’ or ‘ to specify the crossover frequency for your small speakers:

100 Hz

Sends bass frequencies below 100 Hz to the subwoofer (or L speakers).

150 Hz

Sends bass frequencies below 150 Hz to the subwoofer (or L speakers).

200 Hz

Sends bass frequencies below 200 Hz to the subwoofer (or L speakers).

If all speakers (front, center, and surround) are set to L, the crossover frequency can’t be set because there are no S speakers ( appears in the display).

LFE attenuator setting

•Default setting: 0 dB

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

•Use ’ or ‘ to set the attenuation level (0 dB, 10 dB or dB(∞)).

0 dB		10 dB

∞(displays )

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

Front speaker distance setting

•Default setting: 10 ft.

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

•Use ’ or ‘ to set the distance of the front speakers from the main listening position (within a range of 0.5 ft. to 45 ft.).

Center speaker distance setting

•Default setting: 10 ft.

The center speaker is normally placed directly in the front of the listening room and closer to the listening position than the front speakers. This means that the sound from the center speaker will be heard before the front speakers. To prevent this, set the center speaker distance setting to delay the sound from the center speaker so that the sound from the front and center speakers will be heard at the same time.

•Use ’ or ‘ to set the distance of the center speaker from the main listening position (within a range of 0.5 ft. to 45 ft.).
