Switch to the Subwoofer Peak Limit Level Setting screen.

Select “ON” for Peak Limiter.

The screen switches. Select “Setting Start”, then select “Yes”.

The screen switches and a test noise is produced from the speaker system.

5	Increase the master volume level until the test noise is distorted.
	The test noise (bass sound) is distorted when it sounds as if the input is
	excessively high (when the sound crackles).

6	Press the ENTER button at the point where the test noise starts sounding distorted.
	The AVR-5800 automatically sets the subwoofer peak limit level.
	This prevents future inadvertent subwoofer overload due to excessively strong bass content when the master
	volume control is at a high level.

Clear the subwoofer’s peak limit level setting by specifying “Peak Limiter” and “OFF”.
