Boosting the bass

Bass boost function boosts the bass level of sound lower than 100 Hz. The more the bass level is increased, the more the bass sound is emphasized and the entire sound becomes powerful. When using this function with the subwoofer, the sound under the cut-off fre- quency is boosted.

1Press AUDIO to select BASS.

2Press a or b to select a desired level.

0 to +6 is displayed as the level is increased or decreased.

Front image enhancer (F.I.E.)

The F.I.E. (Front Image Enhancer) function is a simple method of enhancing front imaging by cutting mid- and high-range frequency output from the rear speakers, limiting their output to low-range frequencies. You can select the fre- quency you want to cut.

Precaution

When the F.I.E. function is deactivated, the rear speakers output sound of all frequencies, not just bass sounds. Reduce the volume before disenga- ging F.I.E. to prevent a sudden increase in vo- lume.

1 Press AUDIO to select FIE.

#When the rear output setting is R-SP :S/W, you cannot select FIE.

#When the HPF function is on, you cannot se- lect FIE.

2Press a to turn F.I.E. on.

# To turn F.I.E. off, press b.

3Press c or d to select a desired fre- quency.

100—160—250 (Hz)

!Turn the F.I.E. function off when using a 2- speaker system.

!F.I.E. function is effective only for built-in amplifier.

2Press AUDIO to select SLA.

3Press a or b to adjust the source vo- lume.

SLA : +4 to SLA : –4 is displayed as the source volume is increased or decreased.

!External unit 1 and external unit 2 are set to

the same source level adjustment volume automatically.
