BASS PEAK LIMITER
Opens the BASS PEAK LIMITER menu shown above, which can
be used to set amplitude limits for all speakers to which low
frequencies are redirected, including the subwoofer.
The RV-8 is equipped with an internal limiter that prevents low-
frequency output signals from exceeding a designated level. This is
essential for Dolby Digital and DTS(-ES) input sources that produce
low-frequency peaks at much higher levels than 2-channel sources.
In home theaters, the subwoofer and its associated amplifier might
not be able to reproduce these levels without overloading.

CAL NOISE
ON, OFF
Determines whether the bass peak limiter is set with an internal or
external source. When set to ON, the RV-8 activates an internal
calibration noise signal to set the limiter. When set to OFF, the
RV-8 deactivates the internal calibration noise test signal. An exter-
nal calibration source such as an audio calibration disc is required
to generate a noise signal to set the bass peak limiter.
