When using this option, adjust your receiver's speaker configurations as follows: Set Front, Center and Surround speakers to "small." • Depending on your speakers' bass output capabilities, set the crossover frequency on the receiver to 80Hz for tower and bookshelf speakers (speakers with a woofer 5.25˝ in diameter or larger) and 100-120Hz for satellite speakers smaller than 5.25˝ RECEIVER SUB-OUT SUBWOOFER Placing Your Subwoofer in a Room Your subwoofer offers many placement options: in an entertainment center, behind furniture, or next to a sofa or chair. You may place your subwoofer anywhere in the room, but you'll enjoy the best performance when it's on the same side of the room as your system's front speakers (Figure 1). Placing your subwoofer near a wall or in a corner will increase its loudness. When placing your subwoofer in the room, always place your subwoofer on its base feet side down (Figure 2). If you can at all avoid it, do not place your subwoofer next to an open door. FIGURE 1 FIGURE 1 TV Subwoofer TÉLÉ Haut-parleur d'extrêmes graves LFE USB port only for the software upgrade service.
