Speaker Crossover Menu
Crossover adjustment
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 cross-
over 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 re-
ceive 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).

SUBWFR MODE ENHANCED BASS
Subwoofer Mode
The subwoofer output can be set
to Normal, or to an Enhanced Bass
mode.
The Enhanced Bass mode pro-
vides 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 automati-
cally engaged. It also has no effect in
5.1 or greater surround modes.
