Crossover frequency setting mode

Setting speakers to “Small” in “SPEAKER setting mode” sends the respective channels’ bass frequencies to the sub woofer (or “Large” speakers). This function lets you determine which frequencies will be sent to the sub woofer or “Large” speakers.

memo • Initial setting is “100 Hz”.

• If all speakers (front, center, and surround) are set to “Large” in SPEAKER setting mode, crossover frequency cannot be set. (∗∗∗ appears in the display.)

100 Hz

Sends bass frequencies below 100 Hz to the sub woofer (or Large speakers).

150 Hz

Sends bass frequencies below 150 Hz to the sub woofer (or Large speakers).

200 Hz

Sends bass frequencies below 200 Hz to the sub woofer (or Large speakers). We recommend setting 200 Hz when only small speakers are used.

LFE attenuator setting mode

Dolby Digital and DTS audio sources include ultra-low bass tones. Set the LFE attenuator as needed to prevent the ultra-low bass tones from distorting the sound from the speakers.

memo	• Initial setting is “0 dB”.
	• When ∞ is selected (∗∗ appears in the display), LFE is not available.
