Sub Crossover
The MX136 incorporates a built-in Electronic Crossover.
The Crossover will redirect all of the audio frequencies be-
low the crossover frequency setting to the Subwoofer and
all the frequencies above the setting to the appropriate re-
maining Home Theater Loudspeakers. The default setting
for the SUB Crossover frequency setting is 80 Hz, which is
the correct frequency for most Home Theater Loudspeaker
Systems. Refer to figure 8 and perform the following steps
to change the setting.
6. Using the Up or Down directional push-buttons,
select SUB Crossover from the SPEAKER SIZE On-
Screen Menu, followed by pressing the Left or
Right directional push-buttons to change the cross-
over frequency to the desired setting.
Notes: The range of adjustment is from 60Hz to 120Hz in
10Hz increments. When the Input Source is Analog
and the Surround Mode is set to STEREO (the
Alphanumeric Front Panel Display will indicate
PURE STEREO) the crossover frequency will default
to 80Hz.
7. Next perform the MC Bass Mode adjustment below or
if no adjustment is needed, then continue to the
SPEAKER TIME DELAY Settings. If you do not wish
to perform SPEAKER TIME DELAY adjustments at
this time, select MAIN MENU from the menu. The
MAIN SYSTEM SETUP Menu will reappear on the
Monitor/TV screen and proceed to the next step.
8. Select EXIT from the MAIN SYSTEM SETUP Menu.

eration. Refer to figure 7 on page 27.
