2-2. Sp Config (Speaker Configuration) (TX-SR577)

With these settings, you can specify which speakers are connected and a crossover frequency for each speaker. Specify “FullBand” 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.

With the Double Bass function, you can boost bass output by feeding bass sounds from the front left and right channels to the subwoofer.
