‡BASS EXTENSION ON/OFF

When pushed in (ON), this feature boosts the bass frequency of the left and right main channels by +6 dB (60 Hz) while maintaining overall tonal balance. This boost is useful if you do not use a subwoofer.

However, this boost may not be noticeable if the main speakers are set to “SMALL” and the bass output mode is set to “SW.”
