2 Select the "Subwoofer Mode". Select the setting. 3 Enter the setting. The System Setup Menu reappears. NOTES: - Assignment of low frequency signal range - • 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 - • 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. 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 - • The subwoofer mode setting is only valid when "LARGE" is set for the front speakers and "YES" is set for the subwoofer in the "Speaker Configuration" settings (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.

Enter the setting.
The System Setup Menu reappears.
2
Select the
Subwoofer Mode
.
Select the setting.
NOTES:
Assignment of low frequency signal range
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
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.
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
The subwoofer mode setting is only valid when
LARGE
is set for the front speakers and
YES
is set for the subwoofer in the
Speaker
Configuration
settings (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
on page 67.
