NOTES:
— Assignment of low frequency signal range —
• The signals produced from the subwoofer channel are LFE signals (during playback of Dolby Digital or DTS signals) and the low frequency
signal range of channels set to "SMALL" in the setup. The low frequency signal range of channels set to "LARGE" are produced from those
channels.
— Crossover Frequency —
• When "Subwoofer" is set to "Yes" at the "Speaker Configuration Setting", set the frequency (Hz) below which the bass sound of the
various speakers is to be output from the subwoofer (the crossover frequency).
• For speakers set to "Small", sound with a frequency below the crossover frequency is cut, and the cut bass sound is output from the
subwoofer instead.
NOTE: For ordinary speaker systems, we recommend setting the crossover frequency to 80 Hz. When using small speakers, however,
setting the crossover frequency to a high frequency may improve frequency response for frequencies near the crossover frequency.
— Subwoofer mode —
• The subwoofer mode setting is only valid when "Large" is set for the front speakers and "YES" is set for the subwoofer in the "Speaker
Configuration" settings (see page 22).
• When the "LFE+MAIN" playback mode is selected, the low frequency signal range of channels set to "Large" are produced simultaneously
from those channels and the subwoofer channel.
In this playback mode, the low frequency range expand more uniformly through the room, but depending on the size and shape of the room,
interference may result in a decrease of the actual volume of the low frequency range.
• Selection of the "LFE " play mode will play the low frequency signal range of the channel selected with "Large" from that channel only.
Therefore, the low frequency signal range that are played from the subwoofer channel are only the low frequency signal range of LFE (only
during Dolby Digital or DTS signal playback) and the channel specified as "Small" in the setup menu.
• Select the play mode that provides bass reproduction with quantity.
• When the subwoofer is set to "Yes", bass sound is output from the subwoofer regardless of the subwoofer mode setting in surround
modes other than Dolby/DTS.
• In surround modes other than Dolby Digital and DTS, if the subwoofer is set to "YES", the low frequency portion is always output to the
subwoofer channel. For details, refer to "Surround Modes and Parameters" on page 53.
