Crossover Frequency

To get the best bass performance from your speaker sys- tem, you need to set the crossover frequency according to the size and frequency response of your subwoofer and other speakers (front, center, and surround).

1Press the [RECEIVER] button fol-

lowed by the [SETUP] button on the remote controller.

2 Use the Up and Down []/[ ] buttons to select “1. Speaker Config,” and then press the [ENTER] button.

3

Use the Down [ ] button to

 

select “Crossover,” and then use

the Left and Right []/[ ] but- tons to select a crossover fre- quency.

Choose a crossover frequency suitable for your setup.

If you’re using a subwoofer, choose a

crossover frequency based on the diam- eter of your front speakers.

If you’re not using a subwoofer, use the diameter of the first speaker that you specified as Small in steps 4 through 7 in the “Speaker configura- tion” setting (see page 32).

Continue with step 4 of the “Double

Bass” setting.

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.
