Preparations
Crossover frequency setting mode
Crossover frequency is the point where the receiver
divides the high and low sounds (the frequencies)
between the speakers. Since most smaller speakers can’t
handle deep bass tones, this setting allows you to send
those sounds to the subwoofer (or speakers set to
“Large” if you don’t have a subwoofer) instead of the
speakers set to “Small” in your system. Choose the point
at which you want the frequency routed to the
subwoofer (or “Large” speakers).
We recommend setting this to 200 Hz if smaller
bookshelf-type speakers are used for your “Small”
speakers.
Press
% or fi to specify the crossover
frequency for your small speakers (100 Hz,
150 Hz or 200 Hz).
150Hz 100Hz
200Hz
100 Hz
Sends bass frequencies below 100 Hz to the subwoofer
(or “Large” speakers).
150 Hz
Sends bass frequencies below 150 Hz to the subwoofer
(or “Large” speakers).
200 Hz
Sends bass frequencies below 200 Hz to the subwoofer
(or “Large” speakers).
MEMO:
• The initial setting is “
100 Hz ”.
• If all speakers (front, center, and surround) are set to
“Large” in SPEAKERS setting mode, crossover
frequency cannot be set because there are no “Small”
speakers (
*** appears in the display).
LFE attenuator setting mode
Dolby Digital and DTS surround sources include ultra-
low bass tones. Set the LFE attenuator as needed to
prevent the ultra-low bass tones from distorting the
sound from the speakers.
Press
% or fi to set the attenuation level (0
dB, 10 dB or ** dB(
∞)).
MEMO:
• The initial setting is “
0 dB ”.
• When
∞ is selected (
** appears in the display), LFE
is not available.
Low cut filter ON/OFF setting mode
Turn the low cut filter ON when distorted sound is
output through the subwoofer.
Press
% or fi to select low cut filter ON or
OFF.
MEMO:
• The initial setting is “
OFF ”.
• If the subwoofer is set to “ OFF ” in the SUBWOOFER
ON/PLS/OFF setting mode, the low cut filter cannot
be set.
FRONT speakers distance setting mode
Sets the distance from the FRONT speakers to the
listening position.
Press
% or fi to set the distance of the
FRONT speakers from the main listening
position (within a 9.0 m range).
MEMO:
• The initial setting is 3.0 m.
• One step equals about 0.3 m.
CENTER speaker distance setting mode
Sets the distance from the CENTER speakers to the
listening position.
Press
% or fi to set the distance of the
CENTER speaker from the main listening
position (within a 9.0 m range).
MEMO:
• The initial setting is 3.0 m.
• When “
C * ” is selected in SPEAKERS setting mode,
the Center distance cannot be set.
• One step equals about 0.3 m.
SUBWOOFER ON/PLS/OFF setting
mode
Sets whether the SUBWOOFER is used or not. Also, when
used you have the option to use the “
PLS ” setting.
Press
% or fi to select subwoofer ON, PLS or
OFF.
MEMO:
• The initial setting is “
ON ”.
• Setting the front speaker size to “Small” in the
SPEAKERS setting mode automatically locks the
subwoofer in the “
ON ” position.
• Use the PLUS for extra bass. When you use PLS you
will get the bass sounds from the subwoofer even if
the front speakers are set to “Large”.
• If you select “ OFF ” in this setting you won’t be able
to select subwoofer in the surround back speaker
setting on previous page.
