SPEAKER SETUP MENU
In most cases, the standard speaker configu-
ration described above is a global setting and
can be used for all surround modes. However,
the RSP-1098 provides the capability to cus-
tomize these settings for four different surround
modes: Dolby, DTS, Stereo, and Music. For
example, you could set up the Dolby and DTS
modes for 5.1 channel sound, while the Ste-
reo mode changes to a 2-speaker setup with
or without a subwoofer. In addition, the AD-
VANCED SPEAKER SETUP allows you to se-
lect a customized high-pass crossover frequency
for the front, center, surround, and surround
back speakers.

this menu will provide the most predictable
results and most users will not need to change
any settings. You should fully understand bass
management and have a specific reason for
needing a custom configuration before chang-

CROSSOVER (40Hz/60Hz/80Hz/

point between all SMALL speakers and the
subwoofer. This master crossover point is set

on the SUBWOOFER SETUP menu described

cess the ADVANCED SPEAKER SETUP menu,
the current master crossover point will be shown
on this line. Change the value of this line only
if you want the current speaker to have a dif-
ferent crossover point. For example, if your
master crossover is set to 80Hz, but you want
your front speakers to crossover to the sub-
woofer at 60 Hz, you would select 60Hz for
the front speakers on this line. This setting ONLY
affects redirected bass and does not affect the
LFE channel in any way. The OFF setting (avail-
able only for the subwoofer) sends a full-range
signal to your subwoofer so that you can use
its built-in low-pass filter.

NOTE
: When a speaker is set to LARGE on
the SPEAKER SETUP menu or on this MENU,
the crossover setting is not available since,
by definition, a LARGE speaker plays full-
range with no bass redirection to the sub-
woofer and no crossover. Likewise, the OFF
setting for the subwoofer crossover is not avail-
able for SMALL speakers, since SMALL means
that the speaker will redirect its bass below a
given crossover point to the subwoofer. In
addition, the CROSSOVER setting is not avail-
able for the MULTI INPUT.

This setting specifies a master low-pass filter
for the subwoofer and a corresponding high-

tem at the selected frequency. To adjust the
crossover frequency, highlight the CROSSOVER
line using the UP/DOWN buttons. Then, use
the +/– buttons to chose the master crossover
point. The 80Hz or 100Hz crossover points
are the most common in home theater systems
and should be used unless you have a spe-
cific reason to choose a different crossover
point based on your specific speakers.
