About the network function
The network function lets you divide the audio signal into different frequency bands, and then reproduce each of them through separate speaker units. You can then make precise adjustments to the reproduced frequency band (with a low-pass filter or high-pass filter), level, phase and other parameters to match the characteristics of each speaker unit.
4 Push MULTI-CONTROL left or right to select the speaker to be adjusted. Each time MULTI-CONTROL is pushed left or right, the speaker is selected in the following order:

Adjustable parameters

The network function enables adjustment of the following parameters. Make adjustments in line with the reproduced frequency band and characteristics of each connected speaker unit.
Level (dB) Reproduced frequency band Pass Slope (dB/oct.) Level Frequency (Hz) Cut-off frequency of HPF Cut-off frequency of LPF
dB/oct.). The steeper the slope, the more the signal is attenuated. Phase You can switch phase (normal, reverse) for each speaker units input signal. When the continuity of sound between speakers is imprecise, try switching phase. This may improve the continuity of sound between speakers.
Points concerning network adjustments
Cut-off frequency adjustment ! With the low-range speaker installed in the rear tray, if you set Low LPF cut-off frequency high, bass sound is separated so that it appears to come from the rear. You are recommended to set Low LPF cut-off frequency to 100 Hz or lower. ! The maximum input power setting for middle- and high-range speakers is usually lower than that for low-range speakers. Remember that if Mid HPF or HighHPF cutoff frequency is set lower than required, strong bass signal input may damage the speaker. Level adjustment The basic frequencies of many musical instruments are in the middle range. First perform middle-range level adjustment, followed by high-range and then low-range level adjustment in that order. Slope adjustment ! If you set a small absolute value for the slope (for a gentle slope), interference between adjacent speaker units can easily result in degraded frequency response. ! If you set a large absolute value for the slope (for a steep slope), continuity of sound between speaker units is degraded, and sounds appear to be separated.

10 Push MULTI-CONTROL left or right to select stereo or monaural. Push MULTI-CONTROL left to select monaural and MONO appears in the display. Push MULTI-CONTROL right to select stereo and Stereo appears in the display.
# You can operate this procedure only when Low LPF is selected.

# When the subwoofer output is on, you can select SW 2.
MULTI-CONTROL down to select reverse phase and REV appears in the display. 3 Push MULTI-CONTROL left or right to select slope. Each time MULTI-CONTROL is pushed left or right, slopes are selected in the following order: 6 (dB/oct.)
Note When slope of subwoofer and high pass filter are -12dB, and same cut-off frequency, the phase is reversed 180 degrees at the cut-off frequency. In this case, reversing the phase assures improved sound continuity.
2 Push MULTI-CONTROL left or right to select cut-off frequency. Each time MULTI-CONTROL is pushed left or right, cut-off frequencies are selected in the following order: 506380100125160200 (Hz) Only frequencies lower than those in the selected range are outputted from the subwoofer.

# The actual range of the adjustments are different depending on which equalizer curve is selected. # The equalizer curve with all frequencies set to 0 cannot be adjusted.
! Custom 1 and Custom 2 are adjusted equalizer curves that you create. Adjustments can be made with a 16-band graphic equalizer. !
