Go to the AMPLIFIER SUB screen and press CH LEVEL. Then follow the same procedure as explained on this page. This function is designed to be used when you want to change the levels temporarily to hear one speaker louder. Using this method you can set speaker levels in different modes, such as 2/dts, STEREO, and each DSP mode, independently. You should return the settings to their original state when done. Doing the set up procedures on this page will erase any temporary/ independent level settings that have been made. 36 En Initial Set Up CROSSOVER NETWORK The following steps show you how to adjust the crossover network. The crossover network is the frequency at which the system divides the signal and sends the different parts (high, mid, low) to different speakers. Speaking precisely, this setting sets the cutoff point for the bass frequencies rerouted from your SMALL speakers to your subwoofer or speaker set to LARGE. If continuing from CHANNEL LEVEL go to step 1. If starting fresh, complete steps 1-3 in "Setting Up for Surround Sound" (p. 30) first. System Setup DIGITAL INPUT SELECT SPEAKER SETTING CHANNEL DELAY CHANNEL LEVEL BACK 1 CROSSOVER NETWORK BASS PEAK LEVEL MANAGER DYNAMIC RANGE CONTROL 1 Press the CROSSOVER NETWORK button. 2 Choose a crossover frequency. Setting speakers to SMALL in SPEAKER SETTING sends the respective channel's bass frequencies to the subwoofer or the speakers you have selected as LARGE. This function lets you determine which frequencies will be sent to the subwoofer or LARGE speakers. 80 Hz Sends bass frequencies below 80 Hz to the subwoofer (or LARGE speakers). 100 Hz Sends bass frequencies below 100 Hz to the subwoofer (or LARGE speakers). 150 Hz Sends bass frequencies below 150 Hz to the subwoofer (or LARGE speakers). As noted on the LCD screen the THX setting is 80. Select this setting if you have THX approved SMALL speakers. [. . . ] AC 230 V, 50/60 Hz European model . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
