1 If you have a subwoofer and like lots of bass, it may seem logical to select LARGE for your front speakers and PLUS

for the subwoofer. This may not, however, yield the best bass results. Depending on the speaker placement of your

room you may actually experience a decrease in the amount of bass due low frequency cancellations. In this case, try

changing the position or direction of speakers. If you can’t get good results, listen to the bass response with it set to

PLUS and YES or the front speakers set to LARGE and SMALL alternatively and let your ears judge which sounds best.

If you’re having problems, the easiest option is to route all the bass sounds to the subwoofer by selecting SMALL for

the front speakers.

2 • This setting decides the cutoff between bass sounds playing back from the speakers selected as LARGE, or the

subwoofer, and bass sounds playing back from those selected as SMALL. It also decides where the cutoff will be for

bass sounds in the LFE channel.

• With Full Auto MCACC Setup or Auto MCACC Setup (ALL or Speaker Setting), the setting here will not apply and

the crossover frequency will be automatically set. Crossover frequency is a frequency aimed at achieving the optimal

sound field taking into account the bass capacity of all connected speakers and human aural characteristics.

• If you’re using THX speakers, confirm that the crossover frequency is set to 80Hz.

3 • If you are using a Sound Pressure Level (SPL) meter, take the readings from your main listening position and adjust

the level of each speaker to 75 dB SPL (C-weighting/slow reading).

• The subwoofer test tone is output at low volumes. You may need to adjust the level after testing with an actual

soundtrack.
