Crossover adjustment

 

The subwoofer output can be set to Normal, or to an Enhanced Bass mode.

The Enhanced Bass mode provides an output to your subwoofer even when you are listening to a stereo source with main speakers set to Large. In the Normal mode, there would be no subwoofer output in this case, and the bass would only come from the main speakers.

The Enhanced Bass mode has no effect if the main speakers are set to Small, as the subwoofer is automatically engaged. It also has no effect in 5.1 or greater surround modes.

The TGIII bass management system allows you to send the low frequencies of your speakers to a subwoofer. The crossover point can be selected from 40 Hz to 160 Hz.

For example, if you set the crossover to 80 Hz (a good starting point):

• The frequency range below 80 Hz will be routed to your subwoofer for

all speakers whose size has been set to Small.

• All speakers set to Small in the speaker size menu will only receive the frequency range above 80 Hz.

Most speaker manufacturers will provide a -3 dB specifi cation for their speakers. This is the frequency where the speaker output has dropped by

3 dB. We recommend that you set the crossover frequency in the OSD menu at or above the frequency of the -3 dB point. If you cannot fi nd this, then set the crossover to 80 Hz (the default setting).
