! IMPORTANT

Some source units and processors with subwoofer preamp outputs provide low-pass filtering on these outputs, while others have a full- range output. Consult your source unit or processor owner's manual to determine the properties of the subwoofer preamp output.

•If your sub preamp output is full-range, engage the 500/5's sub low-pass filter by selecting the “12dB” or “24dB” position on the “Sub LP Filter” switch.This configuration is illustrated in the setup diagram.

•If your sub preamp output has a choice between full-range and low-pass modes, select the full- range mode and use the 500/5's (likely more sophisticated) sub low-pass filter by selecting the “12dB” or “24dB” position on the “Sub LP Filter” switch. This configuration is illustrated in the setup diagram.

•If the source unit/processor sub preamp output has a low-pass filter which is not defeatable, you can turn the 500/5's low-pass filter off by going to the “Subwoofer Channel Control Section” / “Sub LP Filter” switch and selecting the “Off”

position. Depending on the crossover point and slope of the source unit/processor's filter, you may wish to engage the 500/5's sub low-pass filter to fine-tune the sub-bass response.

•If you are using a high-quality outboard active crossover, you can defeat all of the 500/5's filters by selecting the “Off” position on the “Sub LP Filter” switch in the “Subwoofer Channel Control Section”, the “High-Pass Filter” switch in the Rear Filter Section and the “Filter Mode” switch in the Front Filter Section.

L-R Ambience Control:

This switch, located in the “Rear Filter Section”, performs a very useful function when operating the amplifier in bi-amp mode. By switching this circuit to the “On” position, all signal common to both left and right channels is removed from the signal feeding the rear channels of the 500/5.When the circuit is “On”, the rear channels will only reproduce the extreme left and right information in the recording, creating a realistic ambient effect from the rear channels without detracting from the imaging of the front speaker system. Experiment with this switch to determine if this feature enhances the sound of your system.

C)Two pairs of inputs connected to the rear and subwoofer inputs of the 500/5 (a source unit or processor with front and rear outputs is required). In this mode, the source unit or processor fader adjusts the relative level of the subwoofer channel vs. all four satellite channels as a whole.The relative level of the front and rear channels is pre-set with the amplifier input sensitivity controls and cannot be adjusted from the source unit.

D)Three pairs of inputs connected to the rear, front and subwoofer inputs of the 500/5.This mode is applicable for use in systems with a source unit or processor that provides discrete front, rear and subwoofer outputs. In this mode, the subwoofer level and front to rear fading can be controlled from the front of the vehicle.
