The System Setup menu

• Subwoofer – LFE signals and bass frequencies of

channels set to SMALL are output from the

subwoofer when YES 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).

Select 'X. OVER' and set the crossover frequency.

Frequencies below this point will be sent to the

subwoofer (or LARGE speakers).

When you're finished, press RETURN.

You will return to the Manual SP Setup menu.

Channel Level

Using the channel level settings, you can adjust the

overall balance of your speaker system, an important

factor when setting up a home theater system.

Important

• When Channel Level is selected while MCACC is set

to OFF, the selection screen for the MCACC memory

appears. Select a memory to adjust manually.

Note

1 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.

2 • 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.

3 • 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.
