Subwoofer setting
This option only appears if you have connected a
subwoofer. Note that some subwoofer settings are not
available depending on other speaker settings.
Specifies the behavior of the subwoofer:
• SUBWF 200 – Most of the bass frequencies are
played through the subwoofer
• SUBWF 150 – Mid setting
• SUBWF 100 – Only the very lowest bass frequencies
are played through the subwoofer
• SUBWF ––– – No sound from the subwoofer
• SUBWF PLS – For extra bass power
Note
• The SUBWF PLS setting is only available when the
front speakers are set to FRONT L.
• When all speakers are set to L, you cannot select the
SUBWF 200, or SUBWF 150 settings.
• If you set the front speakers to FRONT S, you cannot
select the SUBWF ––– setting.
• Depending on the source and other receiver settings,
you may not always hear sound from the subwoofer.

Dolby Digital and DTS audio sources include ultra-low
bass tones. Set the LFE attenuator as needed to prevent
the ultra-low bass from distorting the sound.

attenuation
• LFEATT10 – LFE channel is attenuated by 10 dB
• LFE OFF – LFE channel is not played
