SUBWOOFER jack
When using a subwoofer with built-in amplifier, including
the YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer
System, connect the input jack of the subwoofer system
to this jack. Low bass signals distributed from the main,
center and/or rear channels are directed to this jack. (The
cut-off frequency of this jack is 90 Hz.) The LFE (low-
frequency effect) signals generated when Dolby Digital or
DTS is decoded are also directed if they are assigned to
this jack.
Notes
• Adjust the volume level of the subwoofer with the control on
the subwoofer. The subwoofer volume cannot be adjusted from
this unit.
• Depending on the settings of "1 SPEAKER SET", "10A LFE
LEVEL" and "11 DTS LFE LEVEL" on the SET MENU,
some signals may not be output from the SUBWOOFER jack.

automatically turns off the digital sound field processor, and
you cannot listen to DSP programs.
