Initial Set Up

Bass Peak Level

The LFE (Low Frequency Effect) channel in Dolby Digital or DTS program sources can produce heavy ultra-low bass tones that may exceed the capabilities of your speaker system. The following steps show you how to set a maximum output level for the 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.29) first.

If you select SETTING CANCEL no settings are input to the receiver but the screen remains on the TV. To escape the screen you must select EXIT and press the ENTER button.

MASTER VOLUME rotates to MIN (---dB). Then the test tone is output to the subwoofer or front or surround speakers.

To exit before outputting the TEST TONE select EXIT and press the ENTER button.

To exit while outputting the TEST TONE press the ENTER button.
