Setting bass sound

7 Setting subwoofer output—SUBWOOFER OUT

The subwoofer emits the LFE signals* and the bass elements of each speaker set “SML (small).”

You can also make the bass elements of the front speakers (MAIN) emitted through the subwoofer.

SW LFE

The subwoofer emits the LFE signals and

 

the bass elements of the speakers set to

 

“SML (small).”

 

 

SW LFE+MAIN

The subwoofer emits the LFE signals and

 

the bass elements of the speakers set to

 

“SML (small).” The subwoofer also emits

 

the bass elements of front speakers (MAIN)

 

when no LFE signal nor the bass elements

 

of “SML (small)” speakers exist.

 

 

Initial setting:

LFE

*The LFE signals are emitted only when playing the following software with the LFE signals:

–Dolby Digital multi-channel software

–DTS multi-channel software

When playing analog source or linear PCM software, no LFE signal is emitted.

NOTE

When “SUBWOOFER” is set to “NO” (see page 30), you cannot select “SUBWOOFER OUT.”

7 Setting the crossover frequency—CROSSOVER

Small speakers cannot reproduce the bass sounds efficiently. If you use a small speaker in any position, this receiver automatically reallocates the bass sound elements assigned to the small speaker to the large speakers.

To use this function properly, set this crossover frequency level according to the size of the small speaker connected.

•If you have selected “LRG (large)” for all speakers (see page 30), this function will not take effect (“CROSS OFF” appears).

•If you have performed Precise Surround Setup on pages 16 to 18, this setting is not required.

Adjustable range: 80 Hz to 200 Hz (in 10 Hz intervals)

Initial setting:

100 Hz

The following are examples of the setting:

CROSS 80Hz Select when the cone speaker unit built in the speaker is about 12 cm (4 3/4 inches).

CROSS 100Hz Select when the cone speaker unit built in the speaker is about 10 cm (3 15/16 inches).

CROSS 120Hz Select when the cone speaker unit built in the speaker is about 8 cm (3 3/16 inches).

CROSS 150Hz Select when the cone speaker unit built in the speaker is about 6 cm (2 3/8 inches).

CROSS 200Hz Select when the cone speaker unit built in the speaker is less than 5 cm (2 inches).

NOTE

Crossover frequency is not valid for the HEADPHONE and 3D HEADPHONE modes.

7 Setting the low frequency effect attenuator

—LFE ATT

If the bass sound is distorted while playing back software encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS, set the LFE level to eliminate distortion.

• This function takes effect only when the LFE signals come in.

LFE 0dB

Normally select this.

LFE –10dB

Select when the bass sound is distorted.

 

 

Initial setting:

0 dB

Using the Midnight mode—MIDNIGHT MODE

You can enjoy a powerful sound at night using the Midnight mode.

When the Midnight mode is activated, the MIDNIGHT indicator lights up on the display.

MIDNIGHT OFF

Select when you want to enjoy surround

 

with its full dynamic range. (No effect

 

applied.)

 

 

MIDNIGHT 1

Select when you want to reduce the

 

dynamic range a little.

 

 

MIDNIGHT 2

Select when you want to apply the

 

compression effect fully (useful at night).

 

 

Initial setting:

OFF
