Sub woofer

Initial setting is : SUB WOOFER [YES]

•If you connect a sub woofer, select “YES” to output the LFE (low frequency extension) channel from the sub woofer.

•If you do not connect a sub woofer, select “NO”. This activates the Dolby Digital (AC-3) bass redirection circuitry and outputs the LFE signals from other speakers.

•In order to take full advantage of the Dolby Digital (AC-3) bass redirection circuitry, we recommend setting the sub woofer’s cut off frequency as high as possible. (However, when using an amplifier with 5.1 ch inputs, set the sub woofer’s cut off frequency to match the characteristics of the amplifier.)

4Use digital processing control buttons ( / ) to adjust the level of the parameter.

Adjusting the delay time

The delay time allows you create a more effective surround effect by adding a sense of depth to the centre or rear channels. Longer delay times create a greater sense of depth.
