Low Frequency Effect
Initial setting : L.F.E. 0 dB
This parameter lets you attenuate the level of the LFE
(Low Frequency Effect) channel output from the sub
woofer without affecting the level of the bass frequencies
sent to the sub woofer from the front, center or surround
channels via the bass redirection circuitry.
• The level can be adjusted in 1 dB steps from –20.0 dB to
0 dB (line level). 0 dB outputs the full LFE signal at the
mix level determined by the recording engineer.
• Selecting OFF mutes the sound of the LFE channel from
the sub woofer. However, the low frequency sounds of
the front, center, or surround speakers are output from
the sub woofer according to the settings made for each
speaker in the speaker setup (page 15).
