NOTES:
• The subwoofer mode functions only when the input signal is Dolby Digital or a DTS digital signal.
— 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.
— 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 10).
• 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 - THX" 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. THX is recommended in this play mode
so that bass interference is less likely to occur in the room.
• Select the play mode that provides bass reproduction with body.
