Speaker Configuration
With these settings, you can specify which speakers
are connected and a crossover frequency for each
speaker. Specify “Full Band” for speakers that can
output low frequency bass sounds adequately, for
example, speakers with a good sized woofer. For
smaller speakers, specify a crossover frequency.
Sounds below the crossover frequency will be output
by the subwoofer instead of the speaker. Refer to
your speaker’s manuals to determine the optimum
crossover frequencies. If you set up your speakers
using Audyssey MultEQ XT32 Room Correction and
Speaker Setup, please make sure manually that any
THX speakers are set to “80Hz(THX)” crossover.

If you change these settings, you must run
Audyssey MultEQ XT32 Room Correction and
Speaker Setup again (➔ page 26).
This setting is set automatically by
