• YES – The LFE channel and bass frequen-
cies from the small (S) speakers are sent
to the subwoofer.
• PLUS – The LFE channel and bass
frequencies from all speakers are sent to
the subwoofer (L speakers will also output
bass).
• NO – No bass frequencies are sent to the

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).
