7 SUBWFR OUT
You can select the type of the signal which can be transmitted
through the subwoofer. In other words, you can determine
whether or not the bass elements of the front speaker channels
are transmitted through the subwoofer regardless of the front
speaker size setting (either "SMALL" or "LARGE").
Select one of the following:
LFE : Select to transmit only the LFE signals (while
playing Dolby Digital and DTS software) and
the bass elements of small speakers through the
subwoofer.
LFE+MAIN : Select to always add the bass elements of the
front speaker channels (MAIN) to the above
(LFE) , and to transmit them through the
subwoofer.
Note:
If "SUBWOOFER" is set to "NO" on the SPEAKER SETTING
submenu, this function is not available.
7 LFE LEVEL
If the bass sound is distorted while playing back software
encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS, set the LFE level to
eliminate distortion.
• This setting is also valid for THX Ultra2 Cinema, THX
Music, DVD MULTI, and EXT 7.1CH.
Adjust the LFE level within the range of –20 dB to 0 dB.
(Normally select "0 dB.")
• Each time you press @ (LEFT) or # (RIGHT), the LFE level
changes by ± 1 dB.
7 PHASE
If the sound output through the subwoofer is not satisfactory,
changing the phase will give you a different result.
Select one of the following:
NORMAL : Normally select this.
REVERSE : Select this to reverse the phase.
Note:
If "SUBWOOFER" is set to "NO" on the SPEAKER SETTING
submenu, this function is not available.
On this submenu, you can adjust
subwoofer and bass sounds
precisely according to your
preference.
