SUBWOOFER
Notes
The cut off frequency for the subwoofer is fixed at
120 Hz.
If your speakers are too small to reproduce low
bass frequencies, utilize a subwoofer for low
frequency sound. When you set the speaker
settings to “SMALL,” the bass redirection
circuitry will be activated and the bass
frequencies for the speakers are output from the
subwoofer.
Even if there are fewer than 6 speakers connected,
the player distributes the audio signal components
to the front speakers.
DISTANCE
Sets the distance from your listening position
to the speakers.
Set the distance to your front speakers in
“FRONT” first (A). Then adjust the values in
“CENTER” (center speaker B), and
“REAR” (rear speaker C) , and
“SUBWOOFER” (D) to reflect the actual
distance to your center speaker, rear speakers,
and subwoofer.
Be sure to change the value in the Setup
Display each time you move the speakers.
Start from the front speaker. The default
adjustments are in parentheses.
Note
If each of the front or rear speakers are not placed at
an equal distance from your listening position, set
the distance according to the closest speaker.
YES Select this if you connect a
subwoofer to output the LFE
(Low Frequency Effect) signals
from the subwoofer.
NONE Select this if you do not connect
a subwoofer.
