Selecting a cross-over frequency
You can select a frequency, under which sounds are reproduced through the subwoofer. If the installed speakers include one whose size has been set to SMALL, you can select a frequency, under which sounds are reproduced through a LARGE speaker or subwoofer. 1 Use MULTI-CONTROL to select HPF. Refer to Introduction of DSP adjustments on page 64.
2 Push MULTI-CONTROL left or right to select the speaker to be adjusted. FRONT (front speakers)CENTER (center speaker)REAR (rear speakers)SUB.W (subwoofer) 3 Push MULTI-CONTROL up or down to select cross-over frequency for the selected speaker. 63HZ80HZ100HZ125HZ160HZ 200HZ
Note Selecting a cross-over frequency is to set a crossover frequency of the subwoofers L.P (low-pass.F. filter) and that of the SMALL speaker H.P.F. (highpass filter). The cross-over frequency setting has no effect if the subwoofer is set to OFF and other speakers are set to LARGE or OFF.
3 Push MULTI-CONTROL up or down to adjust the speaker output level. +10 to 10 is displayed as the level is increased or decreased.
Note To adjust the speaker output levels in this mode is the same as making the speaker output levels at TEST TONE. Both provide the same results.
