Subwoofer
– LFE signals and bass frequencies of
channels set to
SMALL
are output from the
subwoofer when

is selected. Choose the
PLUS
setting if you want the subwoofer to output bass
sound continuously or you want deeper bass (the
bass frequencies that would normally come out the
front and center speakers are also routed to the
subwoofer).

If you did not connect a subwoofer
choose
NO
(the bass frequencies are output from
other speakers).

You will return to the Manual SP Setup menu.
Note
1 • If you selected
2nd Zone
or
Front Bi-Amp
(in
Surround back speaker setting
on page 38) you can’t adjust the surround back settings.
• If the surround speakers are set to
NO
, the surround back speakers will automatically be set to
NO
.
• If you select one surround back speaker only, make sure that speaker is hooked up to the left surround back terminal.
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 prob-
lems, 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.
• If you’re using a THX speaker setup, 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).
• The subwoofer test tone is output at low volumes. You may need to adjust the level after testing with an actual soundtrack.
