Adjusting bass distribution

The six LEDs on the front panel of your DAP-601ES represent the six discrete audio channels (Left, Right, Centre, Surround Left, Surround Right and Sub). If a particular channel is active, the LED will light up in green. The LED will be red if that particular channel carries low frequencies below 60, 90 or 120 Hz.

Pressing Bass Manager button enables you to select from four different bass configurations. These selections will distribute the lower frequencies to different speakers as described below.

Press Volume +/- in any configuration to adjust the frequency threshold between 60, 90 or 120 Hz.

BASS CONFIG. 1 The frequencies below the set level will be passed to the subwoofer and the SW LED will be red.

BASS CONFIG. 2 The frequencies below the set level will be passed to front left and right speakers and the subwoofer and the L, R and SW LEDs will be red.

BASS CONFIG. 3 The frequencies below the set level will be sent to front, rear speakers and subwoofer and the L, R, SL, SR and SW LEDs on the front panel will be red.

BASS CONFIG. OFF The frequencies below the set level will be sent to all the speakers; all six LEDs on front panel will be red.

Applying DRC (Dynamic Range Compression)

Your DAP-601ES features Dynamic Range Compression (DRC), this helps to equalise the volume range, for example, in a movie soundtrack which has dialogue and explosions happening at the same time, DRC will equalise the range by boosting the dialogue and reducing the explosions so the dialogue can be heard more easily.

Push the DRC button to display the current mode. Push it again and repeat to switch the between the following three modes:

NO No compression is applied to the original audio signal, this provides the greatest dynamic range.

HALF Partial compression is applied.

FULL Full compression is applied.
