1) STR-DE995 only. This parameter is not available

[XXX])” is set to “NO”.

x Sub woofer selection (SUB WOOFER
[XXX])
• If you connect a sub woofer, select “YES”.
• If you do not connect a sub woofer, select
“NO”. This activates the bass redirection
circuitry and outputs the LFE signals from other
speakers.
• In order to take full advantage of the Dolby
Digital bass redirection circuitry, we
recommend that you set the cut off frequency
on the sub woofer as high as possible.
When placing surround speakers behind you
(wide room)
Tips
• When you set up the surround back speaker, set the
speaker at least 1 meter behind the listening
position. It is recommended to place the speaker at
an equal distance from the surround left and right
speakers. If there is no space behind the listening
position, set the speaker above the listening position
by placing it on a stand or hanging it from the
ceiling. To prevent speaker damage or injury in case
the speaker falls, make sure that it is properly fixed
in place.
• Since the active sub woofer does not emit highly
directional signals, you can place it wherever you
want.
Note
Do not place the center speaker further away from the
listening position than the front speakers.
