Section 02 Operating this unit Using the high pass filter When you do not want low sounds from the subwoofer output frequency range to play from the front or rear speakers, turn on the HPF (high pass filter). Only frequencies higher than those in the selected range are outputted from the front or rear speakers. 1 Press AUDIO to select HP-FILTER. 2 Press a to turn high pass filter on. HP-FILTER 80 appears in the display. High pass filter is now on. # If the high pass filter has been previously adjusted, the frequency of that previously selected will be displayed instead of HP-FILTER 80. # To turn high pass filter off, press b. 3 Press c or d to select cut-off frequency. 50-63-80-100-125 (Hz) Only frequencies higher than those in the selected range are outputted from the front or rear speakers. Boosting the bass Bass boost function boosts the bass level of sound lower than 100 Hz. The more the bass level is increased, the more the bass sound is emphasized and the entire sound becomes powerful. When using this function with the subwoofer, the sound under the cut-off frequency is boosted. 1 Press AUDIO to select BASSBOOSTER. # You can also select the bass boost setting by pressing and holding SW. 2 Press a or b to select a desired level. 0 to +6 is displayed as the level is increased or decreased. Front image enhancer (F.I.E.) The F.I.E. (Front Image Enhancer) function is a simple method of enhancing front imaging by cutting mid- and high-range frequency output from the rear speakers, limiting their output to low-range frequencies. You can select the frequency you want to cut. Precaution When the F.I.E. function is deactivated, the rear speakers output sound of all frequencies, not just bass sounds. Reduce the volume before disengaging F.I.E. to prevent a sudden increase in volume. 1 Press AUDIO to select FIE. # When the rear output setting is REAR SP S/W, you cannot select FIE. 2 Press a to turn F.I.E. on. # To turn F.I.E. off, press b. 3 Press c or d to select a desired frequency. 100-160-250 (Hz) Notes ! After turning the F.I.E. function on, use the balance adjustment (refer to page 18) and adjust front and rear speaker volume levels until they are balanced. ! Turn the F.I.E. function off when using a 2speaker system. Adjusting source levels SLA (source level adjustment) lets you adjust the volume level of each source to prevent radical changes in volume when switching between sources. ! Settings are based on the FM tuner volume level, which remains unchanged. 1 Compare the FM tuner volume level with the level of the source you wish to adjust. 2 Press AUDIO to select SLA. 20 En
