SUBWOOFER jack
When using a subwoofer with built-in amplifier,
including the YAMAHA Active Servo Processing
Subwoofer System, connect the input jack of the
subwoofer system to this jack. Low bass signals
distributed from the main, center and/or rear channels are
directed to this jack in accordance with your SPEAKER
SET selections. The LFE (low-frequency effect) signals
generated when Dolby Digital or DTS is decoded are also
directed to this jack in accordance with your SPEAKER
SET selections.
Notes
• The cut-off frequency of the SUBWOOFER jack is 90 Hz.
• If you do not use a subwoofer, designate the signals to the main
left and right speakers by changing the settings of SPEAKER
SET item "1E BASS" on the SET MENU.
• Use the control on the subwoofer to adjust its volume level. It
is also possible to adjust the volume level by using this unit's
remote control (see "ADJUSTING THE LEVEL OF THE
EFFECT SPEAKERS" on page 51).
