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.

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 <–10dB>Select when the bass sound is distorted.
Initial setting: LFE <0dB>
