ENGLISH
NOTES:
— Assignment of low frequency signal range (2-1) —
• The only signals produced from the subwoofer channel are LFE signals (during playback of Dolby Digital or
DTS signals) and the low frequency signal range of channels set to "SMALL" in the setup menu. The low
frequency signal range of channels set to "LARGE" are produced from those channels.
— Crossover Frequency (2-4) —
• When "Subwoofer" is set to "Yes" at the "Speaker Configuration Setting", set the frequency (Hz) below
which the bass sound of the various speakers is to be output from the subwoofer (the crossover
frequency).
• For speakers set to "Small", sound with a frequency below the crossover frequency is cut, and the cut
bass sound is output from the subwoofer instead.
(• When the subwoofer set to "NO", the bass sound is output from the speaker set as "Large".)
NOTE: For ordinary speaker systems, we recommend setting the crossover frequency to 80 Hz. When
using small speakers, however, setting the crossover frequency to a high frequency may improve
frequency response for frequencies near the crossover frequency.
— Subwoofer mode (2-5) —
• The subwoofer mode setting is only valid when "LARGE" is set for the front speakers and "YES" is set
for the subwoofer in the "Setting the type of speakers". (see page 18).
• When the "LFE+MAIN" playback mode is selected, the low frequency signal range of channels set to
"LARGE" are produced simultaneously from those channels and the subwoofer channel.
In this playback mode, the low frequency range expand more uniformly through the room, but depending
on the size and shape of the room, interference may result in a decrease of the actual volume of the low
frequency range.
• Selection of the "LFE " play mode will play the low frequency signal range of the channel selected with
"LARGE" from that channel only. Therefore, the low frequency signal range that are played from the
subwoofer channel are only the low frequency signal range of LFE (only during Dolby Digital or DTS signal
playback) and the channel specified as "SMALL" in the setup menu.
• Select the play mode that provides bass reproduction with quantity.
• When the subwoofer is set to "Yes", bass sound is output from the subwoofer regardless of the
subwoofer mode setting in surround modes other than Dolby/DTS.
• In surround modes other than Dolby Digital and DTS, if the subwoofer is set to "YES", the low frequency
portion is always output to the subwoofer channel. For details, refer to "Surround Modes and
Parameters". (See page 61)
