Change the cut-off for bass
output from the front speakers

If you set the front speakers to “SMALL”,
the filter is set to 100 Hz. Raise the cut-off
if the bass from the front speakers is
unsatisfactory so the bass is output
through the subwoofer.
You can raise the cut-off from 100 Hz to
either 150 Hz or 200 Hz.

Adjusting speaker output
level

Adjust the level of the other speakers based on the
output of the front speakers. (Adjust the volume of the
front speakers with [VOLUME].)

C (center), SR (surround right), and SL (surround left)
can be adjusted between –10 dB and +10 dB, with 0
being the level of the front speakers.
Adjust center and surround output to the same apparent
level of the front speakers. 

For SW (subwoofer), you can select “---” so there is no
output, “MIN” for minimum output, a level between 1 and
19, or “MAX” for maximum output. 
Adjust subwoofer output so it is balanced with the front
speakers. Subwoofer output is easily influenced by the
source. You can also change its level while playing
something for better effect (
