Connecting a Rear Subwoofer
By using both Front and Rear Subwoofers, the CINEMA-DSP sound field
programs can produce realistic movie effects with powerful, dynamic sound. To
take advantage of this dynamic sound, be sure to set the 1C. REAR L/R SP item
in the SET MENU to “LARGE” (see page 37), and connect your Rear speakers
and Subwoofer as shown below.
