Select the channel or use the cursor to move the box cursor around the screen, and the POD encoders to adjust the LFE level.

NOTE

If a channel is not assigned to the LFE, adjusting the level here will have no effect.

At the bottom of the screen, you can use the POD 1 encoder to select surround matrix 1 or 2.

POD 3 encoder allows a batch LFE level to be set, and POD 4 sets the scope of the level setting (ALL, ODD, EVEN, or groups of eight channels) for the cur- rently selected surround matrix.

Use ENTER to make the batch setting.
