Note

When slope of subwoofer and high pass filter are

Using the high pass filter

When you do not want low sounds from the subwoofer output frequency range to play from the front or rear speakers, turn on the HPF (high pass filter). Only frequencies higher than those in the selected range are outputted from the front or rear speakers.

Muting the speaker units (filters)

You can mute front and rear speaker units (fil- ters) separately. When speaker units (filters) are muted, no sound is outputted from those speakers.
