CUSTOM SPEAKER SETUPS

Selecting the CROSSOVER SETUP menu CUSTOM SETUP option opens the CUSTOM SETUP menu, which assigns independent crossover points for each Main Zone audio output connector. Possible crossover settings include FULL, FULL + SUB, and 10Hz increments within a 30Hz to 120Hz range. The graphs shown on the next page indicate the frequency response of each crossover point.

To configure a custom speaker setup:

•Select the crossover point closest to the low frequency rating of the associated speakers. For example, set the FRONT L/R parameter to the crossover point closest to the low-frequency rating of the front speakers.

•Select the subwoofer crossover point equal to the lowest crossover point of any of the other speakers. For example, if CUSTOM SETUP menu parameters are set as shown above, set the SUBWOOFER parameter to 40Hz – the lowest crossover point of the other speakers.

In a custom setup, low frequencies are generally redirected from speakers with the highest crossover points to speakers with the lowest crossover points. Signals lower than the lowest crossover point are redirected to the subwoofer. If the lowest crossover point is FULL, low-frequency signals, excluding LFE information, are not redirected to the subwoofer.

Low frequencies between the Subwoofer and any or all of the other speaker channels can be duplicated. To do this, select the FULL + SUB crossover setting for the front, center, side or rear speakers. Making this selection can result in excessive bass.
