Bass Peak Level - Pioneer VSX-909RDS Operating Instructions Manual

Bass Peak Level

The LFE (Low Frequency Effect) channel in Dolby Digital, DTS or MPEG 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.30) first.
