Crossover Frequency Setting
Small speakers cannot reproduce the bass sound very well. So, if you have used a small speaker for any of the front, center, and rear channels, this receiver automatically reallocate the bass elements, originally assigned to the channel for which you have connected the small speaker, to another channel (for which you have connected the large speaker).
To use this function properly, you need to set the crossover frequency level according to the size of the small speaker connected.
•If you have selected “LARGE” for all speakers (see page 13), this function is set to “OFF” and cannot be adjusted.
On the front panel ONLY:
1. Press SETTING repeatedly until | ST SETTING | |
| ||
“CROSSOVER FRQ” (Crossover |

|
|
The display changes to show the current setting.
2. Press CONTROL UP 5/DOWN ° CONTROL
DOWN UP
to select the crossover frequency level according to the size of the small speaker connected.
•Each time you press the button, the display changes to show the following:
80HZ
100HZ
120HZ
• Use the following comments as reference when adjusting.
80HZ: Select this when the cone speaker unit built in the speaker is about 4 3/4 inches (12 cm).
100HZ: Select this when the cone speaker unit built in the
speaker is about 3 15/16 inches (10 cm).
120HZ: Select this when the cone speaker unit built in the speaker is about 3 3/16 inches (8 cm).
