Bass out BASS OUT

Low-frequency (bass) signals can be directed to the subwoofer and/or the front left and right speakers according to the characteristics of your system. This setting also determines the routing of the LFE (low- frequency effect) signals found in Dolby Digital or DTS sources.

Choices: SWFR (subwoofer), FRONT, BOTH

Select SWFR if you connect a subwoofer. LFE and low-frequency signals from other channels are directed to the subwoofer according to the speaker settings.

Select FRONT if you do not use a subwoofer. LFE and low-frequency signals from other channels are directed to the front speakers according to the speaker settings (even if you have previously set the front speakers to SML).

Select BOTH if you connect a subwoofer and you want to output low-frequency signals from front channels to both the front speakers and subwoofer. LFE and low- frequency signals from other channels are also directed to the subwoofer according to the speaker settings. Use this function to reinforce low-frequency signals using the subwoofer when playing back sources such as CDs.

Cross over CrossOver

Use this feature to select a cross-over (cut-off) frequency for all low-frequency signals. All frequencies below the selected frequency will be sent to the subwoofer. Choices: 40Hz, 60Hz, 80Hz, 90Hz, 100Hz, 110Hz,

120Hz, 160Hz, 200Hz

Subwoofer phase SWFR PHASE

If bass sounds are lacking or unclear, use this feature to switch the phase of your subwoofer.

Choices: NRM (normal), REV (reverse)

Select NRM if you do not want to reverse the phase of your subwoofer.

Select REV to reverse the phase of your subwoofer.
