JVC RX-6040B, RX-6042S, RX-5040B manual Selecting the Main or Sub Channel

¶Crossover frequency—CROSSOVER

You can select the crossover frequency for the small speakers used. The signals below the preset frequency level will be sent to and be reproduced by the subwoofer (or by “LARGE” speakers when “SUBWOOFER” is set to “SUBWOOFER NO”).

Select one of the crossover frequency levels according to the size of the small speaker connected.

CROSS 80HZ: Select when the cone speaker unit built in the speaker is about 12 cm (4 3/4 inches).

CROSS 100HZ: Select when the cone speaker unit built in the speaker is about 10 cm (3 15/16 inches).

CROSS 120HZ: Select when the cone speaker unit built in the speaker is about 8 cm (3 3/16 inches).

CROSS 150HZ: Select when the cone speaker unit built in the speaker is about 6 cm (2 3/8 inches).

CROSS 200HZ: Select when the cone speaker unit built in the speaker is about 5 cm (2 inches).

Notes:

•If you have selected “LARGE” for all activated speakers (see page 20), this function is fixed to “CROSS OFF.”

•Crossover frequency is not valid for “HEADPHONE,” “3D H PHONE” (and “DVD MULTI” for RX-6040B/RX-6042S).

¶Low frequency effect attenuator—LFE ATTENUATE

If the bass sound is distorted while playing back software encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS, set the LFE level to eliminate distortion.

• This function takes effect only when the LFE signals come in.

Select one of the following:

LFE ATT 0dB: Normally select this.

LFE ATT −10dB: Select when the bass sound is distorted.

Selecting the Main or Sub Channel

You can select the playback sound (channel) you want while playing digital software recorded (or broadcast) in Dual Mono mode (see page 26), which includes two monaural channels separately.

¶Dual Mono—DUAL MONO

Select the playback sounds (channel).

MONO MAIN: Select to play back the main channel (Ch 1).* Signal indicator “L” lights up while playing back this channel.

MONO SUB: Select to play back the sub-channel (Ch 2).* Signal indicator “R” lights up while playing back this channel.

MONO ALL: Select to play back both the main and sub- channels (Ch 1/Ch 2).*

Signal indicators “L” and “R” light up while playing back these channels.

Notes:

•The Dual Mono format is not identical with bilingual broadcasting or the MTS (Multichannel Television Sound) format used for TV programs. So this setting does not take effect while watching bilingual or MTS programs.

*Dual Mono signals can be heard from the following speakers—L (left front speaker), R (right front speaker), and C (center speaker)—with respect to the current Surround setting.

•When multi-channel signal is detected, an appropriate Surround mode will be turned on.

•When Dolby Digital 2-channel with surround signals is detected, “PLII MOVIE” will be selected.
