Surround and sound setup options
Speaker setting
Default setting:
S
(all speakers)
You must let the receiver know how many
speakers you have, and how big they are.
1
This
determines how much bass is sent from the
receiver to the speakers.
Use
/
(cursor up/down) to choose a
configuration that matches your speaker
setup.
Subwoofer setting
Default setting:
YES
You can choose whether the subwoofer is used
or not. Use the
PLUS
setting for extra bass.
2
Use
/
(cursor up/down) to select YES,
PLUS or NO.
YES
– The LFE channel and bass from the
small (
S
) speakers are sent to the
subwoofer.
PLUS
– The LFE channel and bass from all
speakers are sent to the subwoofer (
L
speakers will also output bass).
NO
– No bass frequencies are sent to the
subwoofer.
Crossover frequency setting
Default setting:
100 Hz
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.
3
It also decides where the cutoff will be
for bass sounds in the LFE channel.
We recommend setting this to
200Hz
if your
S
speakers are smaller bookshelf-type speakers.
Use
/
(cursor up/down) to specify the
crossover frequency.
100Hz
– Sends bass frequencies below
100 Hz to the subwoofer (or
L
speakers).
150Hz
– Sends bass frequencies below
150 Hz to the subwoofer (or
L
speakers).
200Hz
– Sends bass frequencies below
200 Hz to the subwoofer (or
L
speakers).
LFE attenuator setting
Default setting:
0 dB
Dolby Digital and DTS audio sources include
ultra-low bass tones. Set the LFE attenuator as
necessary to prevent the ultra-low bass tones
from distorting the sound from the speakers.
Use
/
(cursor up/down) to set the
attenuation level.
0dB
– No limiting (recommended setting)
10dB
– 10dB of limiting
**
– No sound from LFE channel

setting if the front speakers are set to
L
.
