Correcting the subwoofers phase
If trying to boost the bass output of the sub-
woofer doesnt do much or rather makes you
feel that the bass gets more murky, this may
indicate that the subwoofers output and bass
content you hear over other speakers cancel
each other out. To remove this problem, try
changing the phase setting for the subwoofer.
1 Touch NEXT on the DSP function menu.
2 Touch SP SET.
3 Touch a or b toselect SUB WOOFER
(subwoofer).
Each time you touch a or b selects the speak-
er in the following order:
FRONT (front speakers)CENTER (center
speaker)REAR (rear speakers)
SUB WOOFER (subwoofer)PHASE (sub-
woofer setting)
4 Touch c to turn subwoofer output on.
# To turn subwoofer output off, touch d.
5 Touch b and then touch c or d tose-
lect the phase of subwoofer output.
Touch d to select normal phase and
NORMAL appears in the display. Touch c to
select reverse phase and REVERSE appears in
the display.
Note
When playing a 2-channel mono source with Pro
Logic turned on, there may be occasions when
the following will occur:
! No audio is outputted if the center speaker
setting is SMALL or LARGE and no center
speaker is installed.
! Audio is heard only over the center speaker if
installed and the center speaker setting is
SMALL or LARGE.
Selecting a cross-over
frequency
You can select a frequency, under which
sounds are reproduced through the subwoo-
fer. If the installed speakers include one whose
size has been set to SMALL, you can select a
frequency, under which sounds are repro-
duced through a LARGE speaker or subwoo-
fer.
1 Touch NEXT on the DSP function menu.
2 Touch CROSS OVER.
3 Touch a or b toselect the speaker to
be adjusted.

er in the following order:

quency.
Each time you touch c or d selects cut-off fre-
quencies in the following order:

Note
Selecting a cross-over frequency is to set a cross-
over frequency of the subwoofers L.P.F. (low-pass
filter) and that of the SMALL speaker H.P.F. (high-
pass filter). The cross-over frequency setting has
no effect if the subwoofer is set to OFF and other
speakers are set to LARGE or OFF.

output levels
You can readjust the speaker output levels
using a test tone while listening to music.
