From the Commander Adjusting X-Over and Switching the Phases This section describes how to adjust X-Over. Before working on this, refer to "About the Crossover (X-Over)" (page 48). Note on adjusting the subwoofer · If the subwoofer is installed on the rear deck, setting a gentle LPF slope (for example 6 dB/ oct.) makes the sound localization more to the rear. This can also affect the acoustic localization of the front. Note on adjusting the high range Depending on the speaker, inputting low frequency component signals (about 2 kHz or less) with the HPF adjustment could result in distortion. If distortion occurs, set a steep slope (for example 30 dB/oct.). Adjust so that the mid and high range sounds do not separate. Normally use with the LPF turned off. If the high range is too strong, we recommend adjusting for a gentle slope. Note on adjusting the low range When a subwoofer is connected and you are using a speaker with a low range of under 10 or 12 em (3-15/16" or 4-3/4"), setting the low range HPF to "OFF" can result in distortion when low frequency components are input. If so, set the H.P.F. slope to a value suited for the speaker's frequency response. 1 Press [FUNC.]. 2 Rotate the [Rotary encoder] to select "Sound Field Adj.", and then press the [Rotary encoder]. 3 Rotate the [Rotary encoder] to select "X-Over," and then press the [Rotary encoder].
