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:
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.

speakers).

You return to the Manual SP Setup menu.
