Bass out 1D BASS

Use this feature to select the speakers that output the LFE (low-frequency effect) and the low-frequency signals. Choices: SWFR (subwoofer), FRNT (front), BOTH

•Select “SWFR” if you connected a subwoofer. The LFE signals as well as the low-frequency signals of other speakers set to “SML” or to “NON” are directed to the subwoofer.

•Select “FRNT” if you did not connect a subwoofer. The LFE signals, the low-frequency signals of the front left and right channels, and the low-frequency signals of other speakers set to “SML” or to “NON” are all directed to the front left and right speakers regardless of the “1B FRONT” setting.

•Select “BOTH” if you connected a subwoofer. The low-frequency signals of any source are output from the subwoofer. The LFE signals as well as the low- frequency signals of other speakers set to “SML” or to “NON” are directed to the subwoofer. The low- frequency signals of the front left and right channels are directed to the front left and right speakers and the subwoofer regardless of the “1B FRONT” setting.

■Speaker distance 2 SP DISTANCE

Use this feature to manually adjust the distance of each speaker and the delay applied to the respective channel. Ideally, each speaker should be the same distance from the main listening position. However, this is not possible in most home situations. Thus, a certain amount of delay must be applied to the sound from each speaker so that all sounds will arrive at the listening position at the same time.
