SETTING BASS PEAK LIMITERS

SETUP SPEAKERS MANUAL LEVELS CALIBRATION BASS PEAK LIMITERS

The BASS PEAK LIMITERS option displays the BASS PEAK LIMITERS menu, to set amplitude limits on low-frequency signals sent to the Main Zone audio output connectors, including the Subwoofer. The RV-8 is equipped with an internal limiter to prevent low-frequency signals from exceeding a designated output level. This is essential for Dolby Digital and DTS(-ES) sources that produce low-frequency signal peaks at much higher output levels than 2-channel sources. In home theaters, there is a danger of the subwoofers and their associated amplifiers overloading when attempting to reproduce low-frequency signals.

CAL NOISE

Determines whether bass peak limiters are set with an internal or external calibration source.

To set the CAL NOISE parameter:

•Select ON to activate an internal calibration noise signal to set bass peak limiters.

•Select OFF to deactivate the internal calibration noise signal.

Setting bass peak limiters with the calibration noise set to OFF requires an external calibration source such as an audio calibration disc.
