• SB – Select the number of surround back
speakers you have (one, two or none).
Select LARGE if your surround back
speakers reproduce bass frequencies
effectively. Select SMALL to send bass
frequencies to the other speakers or
subwoofer. If you didn’t connect surround
back speakers choose NO.

• SUB W. – 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).
3 When you’re finished, press RETURN.
You return to the Manual SP Setup menu.
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: 100Hz
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.

1 Select ‘Crossover Network’ from the
Manual SP Setup menu.
2 Choose the frequency cutoff point.
Frequencies below the cutoff point will be sent
to the subwoofer (or LARGE speakers).
3 When you’re finished, press RETURN.
You return to the Manual SP Setup menu.
Channel Level
Using the channel level settings, you can
adjust the overall balance of your speaker
system, an important factor when setting up a
home theater system.
Note
1 • If the surround speakers are set to NO, the surround back speakers will automatically be set to NO.
• If you selected Second Zone or Front Bi-Amp (in Surround back speaker setting on page 35) you can’t adjust the surround
back settings.
• If you select one surround back speaker only, make sure that speaker is hooked up to the left surround back terminal.
2 For more on selecting the speaker sizes, see Speaker Setting above.
