Advanced Setup
To get the best bass performance from your speaker sys-
tem, you need to set the crossover frequency according
to the size and frequency response of your subwoofer
and other speakers (front, center, and surround).
Note:
• For a more accurate setting, look up the frequency
response in the manuals supplied with your speakers
and set accordingly. In addition, listen to some music
that you know well and choose a higher crossover fre-
quency if you think there’s not enough sound coming
from the subwoofer; a lower setting if you think
there’s too much.
To get the best from surround sound, it’s important that
the sound from each speaker reaches the listener at the
same time. To achieve this, you need to specify the dis-
tance from each speaker to the listening position.
Advanced setup cannot be set while headphones are connected,
Speaker B is on, or the multi channel input is being used.
