Subwoofer setting

The Subwoofer setting divides the high and low sounds (frequencies) between the speakers. Since most smaller speakers can’t handle deep bass tones, this setting allows you to send those sounds to the subwoofer instead of the speakers set to Small (S) in your system. Choose the point at which you want the frequency routed to the subwoofer. We recommend setting this to 200 Hz if smaller book- shelf-type speakers are used for your “Small” speakers. Also, when a subwoofer is used, you have the option of selecting the PLS setting, which adds extra bass.

Follow steps 1&2 on page 29 (if necessary).

Use the +/– buttons to choose subwoofer setting 100 Hz, 150 Hz, 200 Hz, PLS (plus) or – – – (off).

SUBWF 200 Hz

Sends bass frequencies below 200 Hz to the subwoofer.

SUBWF 150 Hz

Sends bass frequencies below 150 Hz to the subwoofer.
