Bass Level

The LFE (Low Frequency Effect) channel in Dolby Digital or DTS program sources can produce heavy ultra-low
bass tones that may exceed the capabilities of your speaker system. The following steps show you how to set a
maximum output level for the LFE channel. If continuing from Crossover Network go to step 1. If starting fresh,
complete steps 1-3 in "Setting Up for Surround Sound (p.27) first.
