x LFE MIX LEVEL XXX.X dB
(LFE (Low Frequency Effect) mix level)
Initial setting: 0 dB
Lets you attenuate the level of the LFE (Low
Frequency Effect) channel output from the sub
woofer without effecting the level of the bass
frequencies sent to the sub woofer from the front,
center or surround channels via the Dolby Digital or
DTS bass redirection circuitry. You can adjust from –
20 dB to 0 dB (line level) in 0.5 dB steps. "0 dB"
outputs the full LFE signal at the mix level
determined by the recording engineer. When set to
"OFF", the sound of the LFE channel from the sub
woofer is muted. In this case, the low frequency
sounds of the front, center, or surround speakers are
output from the sub woofer according to the settings
made for each speaker (pages 21–23).
