Setting Low-Frequency Balance When Using
Separate
LFE
Input
We
suggest that when
you
are
using
a separate LFE input,
you
set
the
bass
level
on
your BP7002/BP7004/BP7006s
to
sound balanced when listening
to
music
in
stereo
and
use
the
.1
channel or
bass
level control in your Dolby Digital channel
balancing procedure
on
your decoder
to
raise or lower the
bass
level
for
movie
sound effects
as
you
require.
Normally
the
level control of
the
left
speaker
will
be
set the same
as
the
level
control of
the
right speaker. However, these controls can also
be
set differently
on
the
two
speakers
in
order
to
allow
you
to
vary
the
response of left
and
right
speakers separately
to
compensate
for
variations
and
asymmetrical positioning of
the
left
and
right speakers
in
your
room
(i.e.,
when
one
is
closer
to
a
side
wall
or
comer, etc.) if
this
is
how
you
must
set
them
up.
This
is
a very unique
and
useful
feature
which
allows
you
much greater flexibility
in
loudspeaker placement,
as
well
as
the
ability
to
optimize
what
could otherwise
be
difficult placement situations.
VERY
IMPORTANT: Setting Channel Balance
and
Bass
Management
Systems
Dolby
Digital and
DTS
5.1
(6.1,7.1) systems and decoders have a critical
channel balancing procedure for the left and right front speakers, center
channel, rears and subwoofer (if it
is
hooked up through the "LFE or Sub
Out"
low-level
connection) which must
be
followed
ifthe system
is
to
perform
properly.
We
have spoken with many system users with problems relating
to
the overall sound of their system
which
could
be
clearly traced back
to
improper system balance. In fact, many users never realize that there
is
a
system balance procedure
to
be
followed.
Also
note that
Dolby
Digital and
DTS
5.1
(6.1,
7.1)
systems and decoders
have bass management systems (systems which direct the bass
to
the various
channels)
which
vary from unit
to
unit. This bass management system must
also
be
properly adjusted.
We
have spoken with many system users with
problems relating
to
the overall sound of their system which could
be
clearly
traced back
to
improper bass management. In fact, many users never realize
that there
is
a bass management procedure
to
be
followed.
Your
receiver or decoder's bass management system should
be
set for
"Large" left and right main speakers and "Yes" subwoofer.
If
you
have a
Definitive center channel with a built-in powered subwoofer, set your decoder's
bass management center channel setting
to
"Large" (although
you
should
experiment with this to
see
what sounds best
in
your specific system).
If
you
are
using large rear surround speakers with very extended
low
frequency response
such
as
a large Definitive floor-standing system or one with a built-in powered
sub
woofer,
set the rear channels ofyour decoder's bass management system
to
"Large."
If
not, set them
to
"Small."
