Crossover frequency setting mode
Crossover frequency is the point where the receiver divides
the high and low sounds (the frequencies) between the
speakers. Since most smaller speakers can’t handle deep
bass tones, this setting allows you to send those sounds to
the subwoofer (or speakers set to “Large”) instead of the
speakers set to “Small” in your system. Choose the point at
which you want the frequency routed to the subwoofer.
We recommend setting this to 200 Hz if smaller book-
shelf-type speakers are used for your “Small” speakers.
Fine Tuning Your Surround Sound
SPEAKERS (Front, Center, Surround)
setting mode
This setting establishes the size and configuration of the
speaker system you have connected more exactly than the
automatic setup. Set here, for example, what speakers you
have connected and which size they are. Selecting “Large”
or “Small” will determine if bass sounds are sent by the
receiver to the speakers being set.
In the display, “F”, “C”, and “S” refer to front, center,
and surround speakers respectively. Speaker size is
denoted as “L” for large speakers, “S” for small speakers,
and “_” (underscore) if no speaker is connected.
Below is a diagram showing exactly what each display for
the speaker setup means and how to decide whether to
choose “Large”, “Small” or none ( _ ) for your set up.
If you only have two speakers none of the below will not
match your setup. In this case just ignore this setting and
choose the appropriate 2 channel listening mode (see
page 30) for what you want to hear.
LARGE: If the cone size (diameter) of your speaker(s) is
larger than 12 centimeters, set to “Large”.
SMALL: If the cone size (diameter) of your speaker(s) is
12 centimeters or smaller, set to “Small”.
None( _ ): Choose this setting if you have no speaker(s)
hooked up to this terminal. Sound coming from this
channel in the original source will be down-mixed to one
of the active speakers.
Follow steps 1-3 on page 25.
Use the
%
or
fi
buttons to choose a speaker
setting mode according to the speakers you
hooked up.
The configurations shown above will appear in the
display. Cycle through the different possibilities until
you find the one that matches your set up (or is
closest to it).

SPEAKERS setting mode automatically locks the
subwoofer in the

• There are some cases where no sound will come from
the subwoofer even if it is set to ON (this depends on
the speaker setting, the listening mode and/or the
kind of source material.
