Tip
• If you have a subwoofer and like lots of bass, it may
seem logical to select
LARGE for your front speakers
and
PLUS for the subwoofer. This may not, however,
yield the best bass results. Depending on the speaker
placement of your room you may actually experience
a decrease in the amount of bass due to low
frequency cancellations. In this case, try changing
the position or direction of speakers. If you can’t get
good results, listen to the bass response with it set to
PLUS and YES or the front speakers set to LARGE and
SMALL alternatively and let your ears judge which
sounds best. If you’re having problems, the easiest
option is to route all the bass sounds to the
subwoofer by selecting
SMALL for the front speakers.
Crossover Network
• Default setting:
80Hz
This setting decides the cutoff between bass sounds
playing back from the speakers selected as
LARGE, or
the subwoofer, and bass sounds playing back from those
selected as
SMALL. It also decides where the cutoff will
be for bass sounds in the LFE channel.
