effects), which reproduces sounds such as explosions and
rumbles in movie soundtracks with astonishing realism.

3

Press 

f

 or 

g

 repeatedly to adjust the LFE

level.

Adjust between OFF and -20 dB to 0 dB (maximum effect)
in 5 dB steps. The default is "

LFE 0

".

•LFE is not available for Dolby Pro Logic.

corresponds to 15 ms, 20 ms, 25 ms and 30 ms in Dolby
Pro Logic, respectively.
