CROSSOVER NETWORK

The following steps show you how to adjust the crossover network. The crossover network is the frequency at
which the system divides the signal and sends the different parts (high, mid, low) to different speakers.
Speaking precisely, this setting sets the cutoff point for the bass frequencies rerouted from your SMALL
speakers to your subwoofer or speaker set to LARGE. If continuing from CHANNEL LEVEL go to step 1. If
starting fresh, complete steps 1-3 in “Setting Up for Surround Sound“ (p.32) first.

1 Press the CROSSOVER NETWORK

button.

2 Choose a crossover frequency.

Setting speakers to SMALL in SPEAKER SETTING
sends the respective channel's bass frequencies to
the subwoofer or the speakers you have selected as
LARGE. This function lets you determine which
frequencies will be sent to the subwoofer or LARGE
speakers. Press 80 Hz, 100 Hz, or 150 Hz. The default
setting is 80Hz.

80 Hz
Sends bass frequencies below 80 Hz to the
subwoofer (or LARGE speakers).
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).

As noted on the LCD screen the THX setting is 80.
Select this setting if you have THX approved SMALL
speakers.

Experiment with the different settings to see which
sounds best to you.

3 Press the SETUP OK button to

return to the SYSTEM SETUP
MENU.

The display on the receiver reads RECEIVED.
If "ERROR" flashes in the display, perform the setup
operations from the first step again.
