Setting the crossover frequency—CROSSOVER

Small speakers cannot reproduce the bass sounds efficiently. If you use a small speaker in any position, this receiver automatically reallocates the bass sound elements assigned to the small speaker to the large speakers.

To use this function properly, set this crossover frequency level according to the size of the small speaker connected.

If you have selected “LRG (large)” for all speakers (see page 22), this function will not take effect (“CROSS OFF” appears).

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).

Initial setting: CROSS <100Hz>

NOTE

Crossover frequency is not valid for the HEADPHONE and 3D HEADPHONE modes.

Setting the low frequency effect attenuator—LFE

ATT

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.

LFE <0dB> Normally select this.

LFE <–10dB>Select when the bass sound is distorted.

Initial setting: LFE <0dB>
