LFE ATT
(LFE
Attenuate)
Some Dolby Digital and DTS audio
sources include ultra-low bass
tones. Set the LFE attenuator as
necessary to prevent the ultra-low
bass tones from distorting the
sound from the speakers.
The LFE is not limited when set to
0 dB, which is the recommended
value. When set to –5 dB, –10 dB,
–15 dB or –20 dB, the LFE is limited
by the respective degree. When OFF
is selected, no sound is output from
the LFE channel.
