to output the test tone.

speakers at a time in sequence.

LFE (Low Frequency Effect) mix

Frequency Effect) channel output from the sub
woofer without effecting the level of the bass
frequencies sent to the sub woofer from the
front, center or surround channels via the
Dolby Digital or DTS bass redirection
circuitry.
• For LFE mix level, “0 dB” outputs the full LFE
signal at the mix level determined by the
recording engineer.
• To mute the sound of the LFE channel from the
sub woofer, select “OFF”. 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 20–21).
