Crossover frequency setting
• Default setting: 100 Hz
Crossover frequency is the point where the receiver divides the high and low sounds (the frequencies) between the speakers. Since most smaller speakers can’t handle deep bass tones, you can send these sounds to the subwoofer (or if you don’t have a subwoofer, the large (L) speakers in your system) instead of the speakers set to small (S) in your setup. Choose the point at which you want the frequency routed to the subwoofer (or L speakers).
We recommend setting this to 200 Hz if your S speakers are smaller
•Use ’ or ‘ to specify the crossover frequency for your small speakers (100 Hz, 150 Hz or 200 Hz).
100Hz150Hz
200Hz
100 Hz
Sends bass frequencies below 100 Hz to the subwoofer (or L speakers).
150 Hz
Sends bass frequencies below 150 Hz to the subwoofer (or L speakers).
200 Hz

If all speakers (front, center, and surround) are set to L, the crossover frequency can’t be set because there are no S speakers
