Note

•When the subwoofer volume level is set to a positive (+) value, the maximum master volume level is reduced proportionally.

To set the level of the subwoofer, use the OUTPUT LEVEL control.

Because our ears are less sensitive to very low bass sounds, there’s a temptation to set the level of the sub- woofer too high. As a rule of thumb, set the subwoofer level to what you think is the optimal level, and then back it off slightly.
