(Bass Peak Level Manager*) sub-menu

Setting the bass peak level is important to keep your subwoofer from being damaged by preventing it from outputting over a set volume. If your subwoofer has a built-in limiter, set this setting to “Off.”

Note:

If your system does not include a subwoofer, this setting will set the bass peak level for your front speakers.
