From this screen the crossover, subsonic filter, phase, polarity, theater/music, volume, and other settings can be set, as well as specifics for each preset, if desired.

Your DD unit comes with 6 presets, four of which are preprogrammed at the factory. The Setup setting is used to initially set the crossovers, slopes, phase, polarity, and volume for all presets. Then, each preset can be individually adjusted if desired. The presets are as follows (they are also labeled on the remote):

1.Action/Adventure

2.Movies

3.Pop/Rock

4.Jazz/Classical

5.Custom (off from the factory, or flat)

6.EQ Defeat

All six presets contain the following fields:

Low Pass Crossover Frequency and Slope Adjust the upper limit of your subwoofer’s frequency response. Select a crossover setting, in increments of 1, between 15Hz and 199Hz and slope at 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42 and 48 dB/octave.

Subsonic Filter Frequency and Slope Set your subwoofer’s subsonic filter (low

frequency limit), in increments of 1, between 15Hz – 35Hz and slope at 6, 12, 18, 24,

30, 36, 42 and 48 dB/octave.
