• Subwoofer – LFE signals and bass frequencies of 

channels set to SMALL are output from the subwoofer 

when YES is selected (see notes below). Choose the PLUS 

setting if you want the subwoofer to output bass sound 

continuously or you want deeper bass (the bass 

frequencies that would normally come out the front and 

center speakers are also routed to the subwoofer). If you 

did not connect a subwoofer choose NO (the bass 

frequencies are output from other speakers).

You return to the Manual SP Setup menu.

• If you select SMALL for the front speakers, the subwoofer 

will automatically be fixed to YES. Also, the center, 

surround can’t be set to LARGE if the front speakers are 

set to SMALL. In this case, all bass frequencies are sent 

to the subwoofer.

• 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 to 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.

• Default setting: 200Hz

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.

• For more on selecting the speaker sizes, see Speaker 

Setting above.

 

Frequencies below the cutoff point will be sent to the 

subwoofer (or LARGE speakers).

You return to the Manual SP Setup menu.

Using the channel level settings, you can adjust the overall 

balance of your speaker system, an important factor when 

setting up a home theater system. 

• The test tones used in the Channel Level settings are 

output at high volume.

 

• Manual – Move the test tone manually from speaker to 

speaker and adjust individual channel levels.

• Auto – Adjust channel levels as the test tone moves from 

speaker to speaker automatically.

The test tones will start after you press ENTER. After the 

volume increases to the reference level, test tones will be 

output.
