    The crossover only applies if you have a subwoofer in the mix. Just set the speakers to large if you don't in the receivers menu. An amp doesn't change anything you have already setup in the receiver.

    There are no settings in the amplifier itself. You simply connect to the preouts on the receiver. It's as simple as that. Just make sure the amp is off or unplugged before making connections.

    Sony 850c 4k

    Run your auto-cal program afetr hooking up the amp. You may have to adjust the volumn on the sub after adding the amp. Always try to keep that between +/- 5 db.
