SYSTEM CONFIGURATION 21
If the front left/right speakers are set to
LARGE, three options are available:
• If no subwoofer is connected to the AVR, press
the
‹
/
›
Buttons
Ea
on the remote so
that
NONEappears in the on-screen menu.
When this option is selected, all bass informa-
tion will be routed to the front left/right “main”
speakers.
• If a subwoofer is connected to the AVR, you
have the option to have the front left/right
“main” speakers reproduce bass frequencies at
all times, and have the subwoofer operate only
when the AVR is being used with a digital
source that contains a dedicated Low Frequency
Effects, or LFE soundtrack.This allows you to
use both your main and subwoofer speakers to
take advantage of the special bass created for
certain movies.To select that option press the
‹
/
›
Buttons
Ea
on the remote so that
SUB(LFE) appears in the on-screen
menu.
• If a subwoofer is connected and you wish to
use it for bass reproduction in conjunction with
the main front left/right speakers, regardless of
the type of program source or Surround mode
you are listening to, press the
‹
/
›
Buttons
Ea
on the remote so that SUB
L/R+LFE
appears in the on-screen menu.
When this option is selected, a full-range signal
will be sent to the front left/right “main”
speakers.The subwoofer will receive the front
left and right bass frequencies under the
crossover frequency selected in another setting
on this menu, as described below, and also the
LFE soundtrack.
9.When all initial speaker “size” settings have been
made, you now have the option to take advantage
of the AVR’s Triple Crossover system, which allows
individual crossover settings to be made for each
speaker grouping set to "Small".The low-frequency
crossover point is set by the design of your speakers.
It is defined as the frequency which is the lowest
possible frequency the speaker is capable of repro-
ducing. Before making any changes to the settings
for the crossover point we suggest that you find the
crossover point for the speakers in each of the three
groupings, front left/right,center front and surrounds
by looking at the specifications page of the speaker’s
owner’s manual,by getting that information from
the manufacturer’s Web site, or by contacting your
dealer or the manufacturer’s customer service
department.You will need this figure to accurately
configure the next group of settings.
The factory default setting for all speaker positions is
100Hz. If that setting is acceptable for all channels,
then no adjustments are needed and you may skip
this section. However, should you wish to change
one of the settings, please proceed by pressing the
⁄
Button
D
so that the cursor moves back up
to the top of the list of setting options. Press the
‹
/
›
Buttons
Ea
so that X-OVERis highlight-
ed and the menu data will change to the screen
shown in Figure 4.

To change the setting for any of the three speaker
groups Left/Right, Center or Surrounds, press the
⁄
/
¤
Buttons
D
until the cursor is next to the
line where you wish to make a change and then
press the
‹
/
›
Buttons
Ea
until the desired
setting appears.The available choices at which
point low-frequency information will be sent to
the subwoofer (or to the Front Left/Right speakers
in case subwoofer is set to OFF), rather than to
the speaker channel, are 40Hz, 60Hz, 80Hz,
100Hz, 120Hz and 200Hz. Pick the choice that is
identical to the information for the speakers, or if
an exact match is not possible, pick the closest
choice that is ABOVE the speaker’s lowfrequency
limit to avoid the creation of a low-frequency
“hole” where your system will have no bass infor-
mation.
In cases where
LARGEhas been selected as the
front channel speaker option and
LFE+L/R
has been selected as the subwoofer option, the
front channel sound information below the cross-
over point selected for the L/R front speakers
(when fronts are set to "Small") will be sent to
BOTH the front channel speakers and the
subwoofer.
When all speakers are set to
LARGEthe
crossover point for the fronts (selectable when
they are set to "Small") will affect the LFE signal
and the bass support for the front speakers by the
sub (when the sub is set to L/R+LFE, see above)
only. In that case the default value "100Hz"
should be kept or selected for the crossover point
for the L/R fronts (selectable when they are
"Small") as it´s indicated (and marked by *)
behind the
LEFT/RIGHTline in the speaker
setup menu when the X-OVER option is selected.
Note that the crossover point for the surround
speakers and the surround back speakers will be
identical.That´s why no crossover point for the
surround back speakers is selectable or shown in
the menu.
Important Note:All settings for the crossover
points will be "Global", i.e. they will be identical
for all inputs no matter if the BASSMANAGER
(see above) was configured for "Global" or
"Independent".
