Setting
What it does
Some audio sources include ultra-low bass tones. Set the LFE attenu-
ator as necessary to prevent the ultra-low bass tones from distorting
the sound from the speakers.
LFE
The LFE is not limited when set to 0 dB, which is the recommended
(LFE Attenuate)
value. When set to –5 dB, –10 dB, –15 dB or –20 dB, the LFE is limited
by the respective degree. When OFF is selected, no sound is output
from the LFE channel.
The input attenuator lowers the input level of an analog signal when
it's too strong. You can use this if you find that the OVER indicator
A.ATT
lights often or you can hear distortion in the sound.
(Analog input attenuate)
The attenuator isn't available with digital sources, or when using the
Stream Direct (ANALOG DIRECT) modes.

according to the audio delay time.

What it does
When you're not using front height speakers, selecting this mode
allows you to hear a virtual front height channel through your front
speakers.
When you're not using front wide speakers, selecting this mode
allows you to hear a virtual front wide channel through your front
speakers.
This improves the continuity of the sound from the front channel to
the surround channels.
When this mode is selected, the sound field expands virtually to
behind the display, resulting in a sound field with the same depth as
the 3D picture to achieve a better sense of presence.
This is set to turn power amplifier sections off and use channels
exclusively in the pre-amp mode. Select ON to use the power ampli-
fiers for all channels. Select Front OFF to turn off the front channel's
power amplifier and use the front channel exclusively in the pre-amp
mode, F&C OFF to turn off the front and center channels' power
amplifiers and use the front and center channels exclusively in the
pre-amp mode. To turn the power amplifiers for all channels off and
use them exclusively in the pre-amp mode, select OFF.
