•Before you change these settings, turn down the volume.

Speaker Configuration

With these settings, you can specify which speakers are connected and a crossover frequency for each speaker. Specify “Full Band” for speakers that can output low frequency bass sounds adequately, for example, speakers with a good sized woofer. For smaller speakers, specify a crossover frequency. Sounds below the crossover frequency will be output by the subwoofer instead of the speaker. Refer to your speaker’s manuals to determine the optimum crossover frequencies.

–a pair of headphones is connected.

–the “Audio TV Out” setting is set to “On” (➔ page 53).
