Subwoofer Setting; Crossover Frequency Setting; Lfe Attenuator Setting - Pioneer VSX-D514 Operating Instructions Manual

Setting up the receiver
• To select SB L, you must have SL selected
in the Speaker setting.

Subwoofer setting

You can choose whether the subwoofer is
used or not. Use the plus (PLUS) setting for
extra bass.
• Use or to select subwoofer YES,
PLUS or NO.
• YES – The LFE channel and bass frequen-
cies from the small (S) speakers are sent
to the subwoofer.
• PLUS – The LFE channel and bass
frequencies from all speakers are sent to
the subwoofer (L speakers will also output
bass).
• NO – No bass frequencies are sent to the
subwoofer.
• If you chose the small front speaker
setting, SW YES is automatically set and
locked.

Crossover frequency setting

• Default setting: 100 Hz
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, you can send these sounds to the
subwoofer (or if you don't have a subwoofer,
the large (L) speakers in your system) instead
of the speakers set to small (S) in your setup.
Choose the point at which you want the
frequency routed to the subwoofer (or L
speakers).
We recommend setting this to 200Hz if your
S speakers are smaller bookshelf-type
speakers.
• Use or to specify the crossover
frequency for your small speakers (100 Hz,
150 Hz or 200 Hz).
• 100Hz – Sends bass frequencies below
100 Hz to the subwoofer (or L speakers).
• 150Hz – Sends bass frequencies below
150 Hz to the subwoofer (or L speakers).
• 200Hz – Sends bass frequencies below
200 Hz to the subwoofer (or L speakers).
• If all speakers (front, center, and
surround) are set to L, the crossover
frequency can't be set because there are
no S speakers (
display).

LFE attenuator setting

• Default setting: 0 dB
Dolby Digital and DTS audio sources include
ultra-low bass tones. Set the LFE attenuator
as necessary to prevent the ultra-low bass
tones from distorting the sound from the
speakers.
• Use or to set the attenuation
