You can adjust from 99 Hz to 1.0 kHz in 21 steps. x TREBLE FREQ. XXX.X Hz (Treble frequency of the equalizer) Initial setting: 2.5 kHz Unlike the equalizer in the EQ menu (which lets you adjust the overall sound quality of each set of speakers), this parameter lets you adjust the treble frequency of each sound field.

You can adjust from -20 dB to 0 dB (line level) in 0.5 dB steps. "0 dB" outputs the full LFE signal at the mix level determined by the recording engineer. When set to "OFF", the sound of the LFE channel from the sub woofer is muted. In this case, the low frequency sounds of the front, center, or surround speakers are output from the sub woofer according to the settings made for each speaker (pages 21-23). 54GB
