Crossover Frequency Setting

So, if you have used a small speaker any for the front, center, or rear channels, this receiver automatically reallocates 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 this crossover frequency level according to the size of the small speaker connected.
