Crossover Frequency

To get the best bass performance from your speaker sys-

tem, you need to set the crossover frequency according

to the size and frequency response of your subwoofer

and other speakers (front, center, and surround).

Note:

•

For a more accurate setting, listen to some music that

you know well and choose a higher crossover fre-

quency if you think there’s not enough sound coming

from the subwoofer; a lower setting if you think

there’s too much.

Double Bass

With the Double Bass function, you can boost bass out-

put by feeding bass sounds from the front left and right

channels to the subwoofer. This function can be set only

if the Subwoofer setting (step 3) is set to Yes, and the

Front setting (step 4) is set to Large in the Speaker Con-

figuration on page 48.
