the Avr will display only those speaker groups you set to on in the number of Speakers

refer to table A3 for each speaker's crossover frequency.
for each speaker group, select one of these eight crossover frequencies: large, 40hz,
60hz, 80hz, 100hz, 120hz, 150hz or 200hz. If the speaker's crossover frequency is
below 40hz, select the first option, "large." this setting doesn't refer to the speaker's
physical size but to its frequency response, which is also called "full range."
Specify the size of the subwoofer's transducer as 8, 10, 12 or 15 inches. the Avr always
sets the subwoofer crossover to 100hz but uses the transducer size for equalization.
write down the settings in table A6 in the Appendix.

button.
Sub Mode
move the cursor to the Sub mode line. this setting depends upon the crossover setting
you selected for the front left and right speakers.
• If you set the front speakers to a numeric crossover frequency, the subwoofer setting
will always be Sub. All low-frequency information will always be sent to the subwoofer.
If you don't have a subwoofer, either upgrade to full-range front left and right speakers
or add a subwoofer at the earliest opportunity.
• If you set the front speakers to lArge, select one of the three following settings for
the subwoofer:
l/r+lfe: this setting sends all low-frequency information to the subwoofer,
including a) information that would normally be played through the front left and
right speakers and b) the special low-frequency effects (lfe) channel information.
off: Select this setting when no subwoofer is in use. All low-frequency information
will be sent to the front left and right speakers.
lfe: this setting plays low-frequency information contained in the left and right
program channels through the front left and right speakers, and directs only the
lfe-channel information to the subwoofer.
