Advanced bass management continued

Bass Augment can be a useful function with PLII material because this encoding type does not include an LFE Channel. This would normally mean that if all the speakers in your setup were set to ‘Large’, the subwoofer would in fact be inactive (as no bass has been re-directed plus there is no LFE channel). If it is desired to have the subwoofer running with all Large Speakers and PLII encoding, enable Bass Augment for PLII and then set the Crossover point and level by ear. A Sub channel will now be created from the Front Left and Right channels without filtering them. As with all adjustments it is a good idea to experiment to determine what works best with your particular setup.

Note: In Advanced Sub On mode, the Subwoofer level control in the ‘Level Calibration’ menu will be inactive. This is because this setting is overwritten by the three appropriate Sub Trim settings from the ‘Advanced Sub’ menu.
