Speaker Setup

f. Crossover

This setting allows you to set the crossover frequency for your speaker system. The crossover frequency is the minimum frequency delivered to a speaker and can be set to 40 Hz, 60 Hz, 80 Hz (THX), 100 Hz, or 120 Hz. Select “80Hz (THX)” if you are using a THX- certified speaker system. This setting is valid when “Subwoofer” is set to “Yes,” or for speakers that are set to “Small,” at the “Speaker Config” menu. Frequencies below this are cut from speakers set to “Small” and sent to the subwoofer (or to speakers set to “Large”).

Note:

When “Large” is set, the complete frequency range for that speaker channel will be output. When “Small” is set, the frequencies below 80 Hz for that speaker channel are output to the subwoofer. If Subwoofer is set to “No” in the 1-1. Speaker Config Sub-menu, then they will be output to the left and right front speakers. (Set all speakers for THX speaker systems to “small.”)

1-2. Speaker Distance Sub-menu

Use this sub-menu to enter the distance from each speaker to the normal listening position.

Notes:

Speakers that you selected “No” or “None” for in the Speaker Config Sub-menu will not appear in this sub-menu.

The difference between the distances of different speakers cannot be set to more than 20 feet (6 meters).
