topic STR-DN1040 and Boston Acoustics Soundware XS in Hi-fi Systems https://community.sony.ch/t5/hi-fi-systems/str-dn1040-and-boston-acoustics-soundware-xs/m-p/1482968#M1314 The subwoofer with the BA system has an auto-shutdown system that cannot be controlled by the user. It's been driving me crazy switching on and off randomly until I took a look at the 1040 manual. However, I'm a little confused by the manual's instructions:<BR /><BR />"Confirm active subwoofer setup<BR />• When a subwoofer is connected, turn on the subwoofer and turn up the volume prior to activating the subwoofer. Turn the LEVEL to just before the mid-point.<BR />• If you connect a subwoofer with a crossover frequency function, set the value to maximum.<BR />• If you connect a subwoofer with an auto standby function, set it to off (deactivated)."<BR /><BR />Does the third point mean to turn off the crossover frequency function?<BR /><BR />Apologies for the stupid question, but I don't even understand what cross-over frequency means!
