Subwoofer:

In  this  menu  point  you  set  whether  a  subwoofer  is
present  in  your  loudspeaker  system.  Select  one  of  the
following settings:

 Bass-manager

 

recommended  setting  for  sub-

woofer / satellite systems.

If  a  sub-woofer  is  present.  The  signals  of  the
bass  effect  channel  (

LFE

),  and  all  other  low

frequency  bass  signals  (below  the  set
transition frequency) which are not reproduced
by the full-range  loudspeakers,  are  passed  to
the  sub-woofer  channel.  In  this  mode  it  may
occur  that  the  sub-woofer  has  no  signal  to
reproduce  in  some  surround  modes  or  with
multi-channel input signals which lack an LFE
channel.

If  the  bass  manager  is  in  use,  the  low-pass
filter on the sub-woofer should be switched off,
as the bass manager carries out the filtering.

 Permanent

 

recommended  setting  for  full-range

loudspeakers and sub-woofer.

If  a  sub-woofer  is  present  and  you  wish  it  to
operate  constantly.  In  addition  to  bass
management  the  signals  of  all  channels  are
mixed  together  and  reproduced  by  the  sub-
woofer.

For  constant  sub-woofer  operation  the  low-
pass filter on the sub-woofer must be switched
on  and  the  transition  frequency  on  the  sub-
woofer  set  in  such  a  way  that  the  sub-woofer
only  reproduces  signals  below  the  bottom
transition frequency of the main loudspeakers
(generally 30 - 40 Hz).

 

none

 

if  this  setting  is  selected,  at  least  the  main

loudspeakers must be full-range types.

If no sub-woofer is present. The signals of the
bass  effect  channel  (

LFE

)  and  all  other  low

frequency  bass  signals  (below  the  set
transition  frequency)  are  reproduced  by  the
main loudspeakers.

Note:

Provided  that  you  have 

switched  on

  the  subwoofer  in

the 

'

Speaker Setup

'

, then you can adjust its level in the

'

Main  Menu

'

  within  the  range  -10  (dB)  to  +10  (dB),  so

that the volume of the subwoofer matches the volume of
the other channels.

Satellite high pass:

Here the lower transition frequency for satellite speakers
can be selected. The bass range below the frequency set
here (for all loudspeakers whose size is set as 

'

Satellite

'

)

is  mixed  by  the  bass  manager  onto  other  suitable
loudspeakers and the sub-woofer.

The following values (Hz) can be set:

 50 

   

 60 

   

 70 

   

 80 

   

 90
