Enter the setting.
The System Setup Menu reappears.
Crossover frequency
• Set the frequency (Hz) below which the bass sound of each main speakers is to output from the subwoofer
or from speakers which are set to "Large" (when not using a subwoofer) (crossover frequency).
• For speakers set to "Small", sound with a frequency below the crossover frequency is cut, and instead the
cut bass sound is output from the subwoofer or speakers which are set to "Large".
• This crossover frequency mode is valid when "Subwoofer" is set to "Yes" at "Speaker Configuration Setting"
or when speakers are set to "Small".
FIXED –THX–:
Set to the THX rated 80 Hz crossover frequency.
VARIABLE 40, 60, 80, 100, 120 Hz:
Set as desired according to your speakers' bass playback ability.
NOTES:
• The crossover frequency is set to 80 Hz in the HOME THX CINEMA mode.
• We recommend using with the crossover frequency set to "FIXED –THX–", but depending on the speaker,
setting it to a different frequency may improve frequency response near the crossover frequency.
Setting the Subwoofer mode
1
Select the subwoofer mode.
Select the setting.
2
Enter the setting.
The System Setup Menu reappears.
NOTES:
— Assignment of low frequency signal range —
• The only signals produced from the subwoofer channel are LFE signals (during playback of Dolby Digital or
DTS signals) and the low frequency signal range of channels set to "SMALL" in the setup menu. The low
frequency signal range of channels set to "LARGE" are produced from those channels.
— Subwoofer mode —
• The subwoofer mode setting is only valid when "LARGE" is set for the front speakers and "YES" is set for
the subwoofer in the "Speaker Configuration" settings (see page 11).
• When the "LFE+MAIN" playback mode is selected, the low frequency signal range of channels set to
"LARGE" are produced simultaneously from those channels and the subwoofer channel.
In this playback mode, the low frequency range expand more uniformly through the room, but depending
on the size and shape of the room, interference may result in a decrease of the actual volume of the low
frequency range.
• Selection of the "LFE - THX" play mode will play the low frequency signal range of the channel selected
with "LARGE" from that channel only. Therefore, the low frequency signal range that are played from the
subwoofer channel are only the low frequency signal range of LFE (only during Dolby Digital or DTS signal
playback) and the channel specified as "SMALL" in the setup menu. THX is recommended in this play
mode so that bass interference is less likely to occur in the room.
• Select the play mode that provides bass reproduction with body.

Setting the delay time
• Input the distance between the listening position and the different speakers to set the delay time for the
surround mode.
• The delay time can be set separately for surround speakers A and B.
Preparations:
Measure the distances between the listening position and the speakers
(L1 to L6 on the diagram at the right).
L1: Distance between center speaker and listening position
L2: Distance between front speakers and listening position
L3: Distance between surround speakers and listening position
L4: Distance between surround back speakers and listening position
L5: Distance between subwoofer and listening position
L6: Distance between surround back L and surround back R
