or
Front Bi-Amp
(in
Speaker system setting
on page 79) you can’t adjust the surround back settings.

, the surround back speakers will automatically be set to
NO
.
2 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 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.
3 • 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.
• With Full Auto MCACC Setup or Auto MCACC Setup (
ALL
or
Speaker Setting
), the setting here will not apply and the crossover frequency
will be automatically set. Crossover frequency is a frequency aimed at achieving the optimal sound field taking into account the bass capacity
of all connected speakers and human aural characteristics.
• If you’re using THX speakers, confirm that the crossover frequency is set to
80Hz
.
4 If you are using a Sound Pressure Level (SPL) meter, take the readings from your main listening position and adjust the level of each speaker
to 75 dB SPL (C-weighting/slow reading).
