07 Setting up the receiver

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
frequency for your small speakers (100 Hz,
150 Hz or 200 Hz).
100Hz
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
level (0 dB, 10 dB or
0 dB
∞

• When ∞ is selected (
display), LFE cannot be heard.

Front left speaker distance setting

• Default setting: 3 m
Sets the distance from the front left speaker to
the listening position.
• Use or to set the distance of the
front left speaker from the main listening
position (within the range of 0.1 m to 9.0
m).

Center speaker distance setting

• Default setting: 3 m
The center speaker is normally placed directly
in the front of the listening room and closer to
the listening position than the front speakers.
This means that the sound from the center
speaker will be heard before the front
speakers. To prevent this, set the center
speaker distance setting to delay the sound
from the center speaker so that the sound
from the front and center speakers will be
heard at the same time.
