Bass Peak Level - Pioneer VSX-839RDS Operating Instructions Manual

Initial Set up

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 – 31) first.
