Setting the crossover frequency
To reproduce low frequencies between 80 Hz and 120 Hz in an
optimum condition, set the crossover frequency according to the
low-frequency reproduction capabilities of the subwoofer and
other speakers (front, center and surround).
1. Press SPEAKER ADJUST twice.
The current setting is displayed.
2. Press PRESET/ADJUST ™/£ repeatedly to
select the crossover frequency.
Select from 80 Hz, 100 Hz and 120 Hz.
Refer to the following example for deciding the setting.
• When other speakers than the subwoofer are relatively
small (when they cannot reproduce low frequencies
sufficiently): 120 Hz
• When other speakers than the subwoofer are relatively
large (when they can reproduce low frequencies
sufficiently): 80 Hz
If you want more accurate setting, refer to the instruction
manuals of the speakers and perform the setting according to
their reproduce frequency bands. Also listen to the actual sound
and set to the high position (120 Hz) if you feel that the sound
from the subwoofer is not enough or to the low position (80 Hz)
if you feel that the sound is loud.
