6 Setup • Surr - Select LARGE if your surround speakers reproduce bass frequencies effectively. Select SMALL to send bass frequencies to the other speakers or subwoofer. If you didn't connect surround speakers choose NO (the sound of the surround channels is sent to the other speakers). • Subwoofer - 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). 4 When you're finished, press . You return to the Manual SP Setup menu. Note • If you select SMALL for the front speakers, the subwoofer will automatically be fixed to YES. Also, the center, surround can't be set to LARGE if the front speakers are set to SMALL. In this case, all bass frequencies are sent to the subwoofer. • 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. X.Over • 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. • For more on selecting the speaker sizes, see Speaker Setting on page 27. 1 Select 'Manual SP Setup' from the Setup. 2 Select 'X.Over' from the Manual SP Setup menu. 2.Manual SP Setup a.Speaker Setting b.X.Over c.Channel Level d.Speaker Distance 2b.X.Over Frequency 100Hz Return Return 3 Choose the frequency cutoff point.
