Subwoofer freq.
sets the subwoofer filter’s cutoff frequency,
in 5-Hz increments from 20 to 200 Hz.
Enhanced bass
, or
Ebass
, is an enhancement of bass management that sends bass both to
channels with “Large” speakers and to the sub-
woofer. When all speakers are set to “Large,” the
subwoofer is normally sent only the Low Frequency
Effects, or LFE channel, signal.
Note:
The factory default setting = Off
Enhanced Bass
will give you more total bass energy, but switching it off may make the bass
clearer, or even louder, in some rooms because it eliminates the possibility of phase problems
and bass frequency cancellations that can occur when same bass tones come from speakers
located in different parts of the room.
Note:
If you aren’t using the 7.1 Channel Analog Audio Inputs, you can skip to the next page.
7.1 ch Analog Audio
Inputs
have all-analog bass management that simulates the basic
characteristics of the DSP-controlled bass management used for digital sources. The Sub channel
is always full range, but the following can be selected for the other channels. Press the
left
or
right cursor button
to setup your 7.1 Channel inputs:
•
All Large
There is no filter applied and signals
are passed to all channels full range.
•
L&R Large
Only the left and right front
speakers are full range and unfiltered, while the
bass in the center, surround and back channels
is filtered below 80Hz, equivalent to setting
them to “Small.”
•
All Small
Center, surround and back channel
bass is filtered below 80Hz.
Note:
The bass that is filtered out of “small” speak-
ers is redirected to the Sub channel so you
don’t miss any of the low frequency content
in multi-channel DVD-A and SACD music.
Note:
The factory default setting is All = Small.
After you are finished with the Speaker Size page,
point the cursor to Exit and press Select to go back to the Speaker setup menu page.
