TruBass

TruBass takes advantage of the ability of the human ear to be able to distinguish  between

two different tones. By using this ability, TruBass reproduces bass sound which sometimes cannot

be heard. The options are OFF/LOW/MED/HIGH. Adjust this control to suit your personal taste.

PLEASE NOTE :  If the volume level is high,

low frequency sound may be distorted. In this

case, TruBass should be set to LOW or OFF.

If a subwoofer speaker is connected to the TV,

Trubass should be set to OFF.
