Denon AVR-3802 Assignment of low frequency signal range, Crossover Frequency, Subwoofer mode

Page 21

NOTES:

— Assignment of low frequency signal range —

•The only signals produced from the subwoofer channel are LFE signals (during playback of Dolby Digital or DTS signals) and the low frequency signal range of channels set to “SMALL” in the setup menu. The low frequency signal range of channels set to “LARGE” are produced from those channels.

— Crossover Frequency —

•When “Subwoofer” is set to “Yes” at the “Speaker Configuration Setting”, set the frequency (Hz) below which the bass sound of the various speakers is to be output from the subwoofer (the crossover frequency).

•For speakers set to “Small”, sound with a frequency below the crossover frequency is cut, and the cut bass sound is output from the subwoofer instead.

NOTE: For ordinary speaker systems, we recommend setting the crossover frequency to 80 Hz. When using small speakers, however, setting the crossover frequency to a high frequency may improve frequency response for frequencies near the crossover frequency.

— Subwoofer mode —

•The subwoofer mode setting is only valid when “LARGE” is set for the front speakers and “YES” is set for the subwoofer in the “Speaker Configuration” settings (see page 18).

•When the “LFE+MAIN” playback mode is selected, the low frequency signal range of channels set to “LARGE” are produced simultaneously from those channels and the subwoofer channel.

In this playback mode, the low frequency range expand more uniformly through the room, but depending on the size and shape of the room, interference may result in a decrease of the actual volume of the low frequency range.

•Selection of the “LFE ” play mode will play the low frequency signal range of the channel selected with “LARGE” from that channel only. Therefore, the low frequency signal range that are played from the subwoofer channel are only the low frequency signal range of LFE (only during Dolby Digital or DTS signal playback) and the channel specified as “SMALL” in the setup menu.

•Select the play mode that provides bass reproduction with body.

•When the subwoofer is set to “Yes”, bass sound is output from the subwoofer regardless of the subwoofer mode setting in surround modes other than Dolby/DTS.

qAuto Flag Detect Mode (AFDM)

ON:

This function only works for sources containing DTS-ES or 6.1-channel surround identification signals.

 

When this function is used, sources that have been recorded in 6.1-channel surround or DTS-ES are automatically played in the 6.1-

 

channel surround mode using the surround back speaker(s). (Refer to w for the method of playback of the surround back speaker in

 

this case.)

OFF:

Set this mode if you wish to play normal 5.1-channel sources or sources not containing the identification signals described below in

 

the 6.1-channel mode.

wNon-Flag Source SBch Output

MTRX ON:

Sources are played using the surround back speaker(s). The surround back channel is played with digital matrix processing.

NON-MTRX:

Sources are played using the surround back speaker(s). The same signals as those of the surround channel are output from

 

the surround back speaker(s).

OFF:

Sources are played without using the surround back speaker(s).
