Setting up subwoofers

This section explains how to use Sine/Sub mode to adjust the

resonances.

Off (front panel or remote).
Press and hold the Mute key on the front panel for at least

To adjust the subwoofer crossover
frequency
The 568 allows the crossover frequency for any subwoofers
which you have to be adjusted between 30 and 120Hz. The
crossover can be set independently for Music, Logic, and 5.1
Movie presets. The default is the THX standard of 80Hz.
S i n e / S u b O n
For example:
For THX loudspeaker systems you should not adjust these
settings – they should be left at 80Hz. 80Hz is also the
recommended setting for all movie listening. You may prefer,
however, to lower the crossover frequency for music if your main
speakers have good bass handling down to, say, 50Hz.
S i n e / S u b O f f
Turn on Sine/Sub mode, as described above.
Press < or > (remote) until the display shows the current
crossover frequency.
Press A or V (remote) to set the crossover frequency.
