• "Crossovers" can be set when the "Bass" – "Subwoofer Mode"
(vpage 126) setting is "LFE+Main", or when you have a speaker that
is set to "Small".
• The default crossover frequency is "80Hz", which will work best with the
widest variety of speakers. When using very small speakers, however,
you can choose a higher setting based on the specified frequency
response of the speakers. If the speaker has a specified frequency
response of 120 Hz – 20 kHz (as an example), then choose the 120 Hz
crossover frequency.
• For speakers set to "Small", low frequency content below the crossover
frequency is attenuated to the speakers and the low bass content is then
re-delivered to the subwoofer, or the front (L/R) speakers if they have
been set to Large.
• The speakers that can be set when "Individual" is selected differ
depending on to the "Subwoofer Mode" setting (vpage 126).

can be set. If the speakers are set to "Large", "Full Band" is displayed
and the setting cannot be made.
• If set to "LFE+Main", this setting can be made regardless of the
speaker size.

"Subwoofer Mode" is set to "LFE", no sound may be output from the
subwoofers, depending on the input signal or selected sound mode.
