Therefore, although it may result in a setting contrary to the above explanation, we recommend that you playback multi channel surround encoded software and select the setting that provides a good sense of spaciousness and that best succeeds in forming a cohesive space between the surround sound from the surround speakers and the sound of the front speakers. If you are not sure which sounds best, select “BEHD” and then use the speaker distance parameter and speaker level adjustments to obtain proper balance.

xSP CROSSOVER > XXX Hz (Speaker crossover frequency)

Initial setting: 100 Hz

Lets you set the bass crossover frequency of speakers set to “SMALL” in the SPEAKER SET UP menu. You can adjust from 40 Hz to 160 Hz in 10 Hz steps.

xOUTPUT (Preout downmixing)
