Front image enhancer (F.I.E.)

The F.I.E. (Front Image Enhancer) function is a simple method of enhancing front imaging by cutting mid- and high-range frequency output from the rear speakers, limiting their output to low-range frequencies. You can select the fre- quency you want to cut.

Precaution

When the F.I.E. function is deactivated, the rear speakers output sound of all frequencies, not just bass sounds. Reduce the volume before disenga- ging F.I.E. to prevent a sudden increase in vo- lume.
