The Subwoofer setting will appear automatically, depending on whether you have connected a subwoofer or not.

If the all the speakers are set to Large (L) you can only select 100 kHz, PLS or off (– – –) for the Subwoofer.

Setting the front speakers to Small (S) means you will use a subwoofer, thus its setting cannot be turned off. In this case make sure you set the subwoofer and choose its cutoff frequency.

There are some cases where no sound will come from the subwoofer even if it is (this depends on the speaker setting, the listening mode and/or the kind of source material).
