Note:

For a more accurate setting, look up the frequency response in the manuals supplied with your speakers and set accordingly. In addition, listen to some music that you know well and choose a higher crossover fre- quency if you think there’s not enough sound coming from the subwoofer; a lower setting if you think there’s too much.

Double Bass

With the Double Bass function, you can boost bass out- put by feeding bass sounds from the front left and right channels to the subwoofer. This function can be set only if the Subwoofer setting (step 3) is set to Yes, and the Front setting (step 4) is set to Large in the Speaker Con- figuration on page 32.
