Crossover Frequency:
A crossover does not cut frequencies off like a cliff, but rolls them off according to a slope. If set to, for
example, 80 Hz your main speakers will still play lower frequencies – they just won’t have to play them as
loudly. This also lightens the load on the amplifier leaving extra power for mid and high frequencies.
Select 60, 80, 100, 120 or 150 Hz according to the low frequency capability of your speakers.
“Off” setting for:
• Center – the center channel plays from the L/R fronts.
• Surround – the L-Surround channel plays from the L-Front channel and the R-Surround channel
plays from the R-Front channel (except Dolby Pro Logic modes).
Subwoofer:
The subwoofer plays two things – LFE (Low Frequency Effects) channel in multichannel soundtracks and
bass from channels set to Small. Select On or Off.
Bass response highly depends on room acoustics and experimentation with subwoofer placement is
recommended. If you will not use ARC Quick Measure start by temporarily placing the subwoofer in the
listening area, play some music with a range of bass and walk around the room. Positions where the
bass range sounds smooth are suitable for permanent subwoofer placement as long as decor allows.
3.3 LISTENER POSITION
The Listener Position menu lets you enter the distance between each speaker and the listening area. The
channel with the greatest distance setting will have no delay while channels with shorter distance settings
will be delayed according to their setting. This way, sound reaches the listening area at the same time from
all speakers, and proper imaging can be achieved.
Measurement Units:
Feet (ft) or Metres (m).
Distance Adjustment:
Enter the distance between your primary listening area and each speaker. Range is 0-30 ft in 1 ft increments
or 0-9 m in 0.3 m increments.
