• Subwoofer – LFE signals and bass frequencies of
channels set to SMALL are output from the subwoofer
when YES is selected (see notes below). Choose the PLUS
setting if you want the subwoofer to output bass sound
continuously or you want deeper bass (the bass
frequencies that would normally come out the front and
center speakers are also routed to the subwoofer). If you
did not connect a subwoofer choose NO (the bass
frequencies are output from other speakers).
4 When you’re finished, press RETURN.
You return to the Manual SP Setup menu.
Note
• If you select SMALL for the front speakers, the subwoofer
will automatically be fixed to YES. Also, the center,
surround can’t be set to LARGE if the front speakers are
set to SMALL. In this case, all bass frequencies are sent
to the subwoofer.
• 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.
X.Over
• Default setting: 200Hz
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.
• For more on selecting the speaker sizes, see Speaker
Setting on page 30.
