You will need to use your ears to determine the best settings for these filters. The
frequency markings shown next to each control knob may give you some
guidelines. 50Hz (or above) might be used as a setting for music production.
80Hz is the proposed setting for Dolby Digital playback, while 100Hz is the
proposed setting for THX.

If your satellites are properly damped at the bass response as shown in curve
“a,” set the two crossover frequencies to be identical. If your satellite speakers
are under-damped (boomy sounding) as shown in curve “b,” experiment with
setting the Satellite crossover frequency control higher. If they are over-damped
(dry sounding) as shown in curve “c,” experiment with a lower setting. You may
want to note the final control settings in case they are accidentally altered.

Note: In the event that you do choose an external form of bass
management, you will likely need to set the Subwoofer LPF cutoff
frequency to 180Hz. If you choose not to use the SP-8S internal
bass management or an external form of bass management, you
may want to begin with a Subwoofer LPF cutoff frequency of 120Hz
and experiment up or down until you reach your desired sound.
