2 Assignment of low frequency signal range
The 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. The low frequency signal range of channels set to
"LARGE" are produced from those channels.

2 Crossover Frequency
• When "Subwoofer" is set to "Yes" at the "Speaker
Configuration" setting, set the frequency (Hz) below which the
bass sound of the various speakers is to be output from the
subwoofer (the crossover frequency).
• For speakers set to "Small", sound with a frequency below
the crossover frequency is cut, and the cut bass sound is
output from the subwoofer instead.
or
(• When "Subwoofer" is set to "No", the bass sound is output
from the speakers set as "Large".)
NOTE:
• For ordinary speaker systems, we recommend setting the
crossover frequency to 80 Hz. When using small speakers,
however, setting the crossover frequency to a higher
frequency may improve frequency response for frequencies
near the crossover frequency.
or 2 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
"Setting the Speaker Configuration" (
• When the "LFE+MAIN" playback mode is selected, the low
frequency signal range of channels set to "Large" is produced
simultaneously from those channels and the subwoofer
channel.
In this playback mode, the low frequency range expands 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" 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 is
played from the subwoofer channel is only the low frequency
signal range of LFE (only during Dolby Digital or DTS signal
playback) and the channels specified as "Small" in the setup
menu.
• Select the play mode that offers the fullest bass.
• When the subwoofer is set to "Yes", bass sound is output from
the subwoofer regardless of the subwoofer mode setting in
surround modes other than Dolby/DTS.
• In surround modes other than Dolby Digital and DTS, if the
subwoofer is set to "Yes", the low frequency portion is always
output to the subwoofer channel. For details, refer to
"Surround modes and parameters" (
