Bass Peak Level Manager

The LFE (Low Frequency Effect) channel in Dolby Digital or DTS program sources can produce heavily concentrated ultra-low bass tones that may exceed the capabilities of your speaker system. The following steps show you how to set the peak level for the ultra-low bass (LFE) channel. If continuing from CROSSOVER NETWORK go to step 1. If starting fresh, complete steps 1-3 in “Setting Up for Surround Sound” (p.24) first.
