•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.
