Selecting the CROSSOVER SETUP menu CUSTOM SETUP option
opens the CUSTOM SETUP menu, which assigns independent
crossover points for each Main Zone audio output connector.
Possible crossover settings include FULL, FULL + SUB, and 10Hz incre-
ments within a 30Hz to 120Hz range. The graphs shown on the next
page indicate the frequency response of each crossover point.
To configure a custom speaker setup:
• Select the crossover point closest to the low frequency rating of
the associated speakers. For example, set the FRONT L/R
parameter to the crossover point closest to the low-frequency
rating of the front speakers.
• Select the subwoofer crossover point equal to the lowest
crossover point of any of the other speakers. For example, if
CUSTOM SETUP menu parameters are set as shown above, set

the SUBWOOFER parameter to 40Hz – the lowest crossover
point of the other speakers.
In a custom setup, low frequencies are generally redirected from
speakers with the highest crossover points to speakers with the
lowest crossover points. Signals lower than the lowest crossover point
are redirected to the subwoofer. If the lowest crossover point is FULL,
low-frequency signals, excluding LFE information, are not redirected
to the subwoofer.
Low frequencies between the Subwoofer and any or all of the other
speaker channels can be duplicated. To do this, select the FULL + SUB
crossover setting for the front, center, side or rear speakers. Making
this selection can result in excessive bass.
