Basic Settings
Crossover frequency
Small speakers cannot reproduce the bass sounds efficiently. If you
use a small speaker in any position, this receiver automatically
reallocates the bass sound elements assigned to the small speaker to
the large speakers.
To use this function properly, set this crossover frequency level
according to the size of the small speaker connected.
• If you have selected "LARGE" for all speakers, this function will
not take effect ("CROSS OFF" appears).
1
Press SETTING repeatedly until
"CROSS (Crossover)" (with the current
setting)* appears on the display.
* "150HZ" is the initial setting. If you have already changed the
setting, another frequency will be shown.
2
Press CONTROL UP 5/DOWN ∞ to
select the crossover frequency level
you like to use.
• Each time you press the button, the crossover
frequency level changes as follows:
80HZ 100HZ
200HZ
Note:
Crossover frequency is not valid for the HEADPHONE mode.

Low frequency effect attenuator
If the bass sound is distorted while playing back software using
Dolby Digital or DTS Digital Surround, follow the procedure
below:
• This function takes effect only when the subwoofer (LFE) signals
come in, (with "SUBWOOFER" set to "YES").
1
Press SETTING repeatedly until "LFE
ATT (Low Frequency Effect
Attenuator)" (with the current setting)*
appears on the display.
* "0dB" is the initial setting. If you have already changed the
setting, "–10dB" will be shown.
2
Press CONTROL UP 5/DOWN ∞ to
select the low frequency effect
attenuator level.
• Each time you press the button, the setting
alternates between "0dB" and "–10dB."
0dB : Normally select this.
–10dB
: Select this when the bass sound is distorted.
Dynamic range compression
You can compress the dynamic range (difference between maximum
sound and minimum sound) of the reproduced sound. This is useful
when enjoying surround sound at night.
• This function takes effect only when playing back a source using
Dolby Digital.
1
Press SETTING repeatedly until
"D. COMP (Dynamic range
compression)" (with the current
setting)* appears on the display.
* "MID" is the initial setting. If you have already changed the
setting, another setting will be shown.
2
Press CONTROL UP 5/DOWN ∞ to
select the appropriate compression
level.
• Each time you press the button, the
display changes as follows:
OFF
OFF : Select this when you want to enjoy surround with its
full dynamic range. (No effect applied.)
MID : Select this when you want to reduce the dynamic range
a little.
MAX : Select this when you want to apply the compression
effect fully. (Useful at night.)
