Each speaker opens the same menu with two buttons – size and crossover. To modify the crossover for the selected speaker, touch the Crossover button and then adjust the setting using the increase and decrease buttons. The crossover setting applies a high pass filter to the speakers set on crossed over, and a low pass filter to route bass information to the sub (if enabled). When the speaker is set to large, and e-bassis enabled the crossover determines which low frequencies will simultaneously get routed to the sub(s).

The Size option allows you to pick either Full Range or Crossed Over for each speaker. The None option is available on the surround, center, or rears. Selecting None disables the channel(s) output. If None is highlighted then that speaker location is not available for selection in other menus.

NOTE: You cannot disable the Front L/R. If you disable the surround speakers, then the rear speakers are not available for selection.

The Subwoofer configuration page, shown above, has two buttons available – Sub Enabled and e-bass. If the Sub Enabled button is highlighted, then the configuration includes an active subwoofer and the LFE (Low Frequency Effects) information is routed to it as well as any low pass energy from the crossed

over channels. If you do not enable a subwoofer for the system, then the LFE information will be routed to any full range speakers in the configuration. When a subwoofer is enabled and the e-bass option selected, the low frequency signals from all speakers (both crossed and full range) are passed to the subwoofer along with the LFE (if available from a discrete stream). This effectively duplicates the bass energy present in full range speakers.

NOTE: If the Sub is not enabled e-bass will be grayed out and not selectable as the LFE is already being distributed to any full range

speakers available.

The Crossover Slope button enables you to select the preferred crossover slope, either 12dB/octave or a steeper 24dB/octave. Touch the desired value so that it is

highlighted.
