SETTING BASS PEAK LIMITERS
The BASS PEAK LIMITERS option displays the BASS PEAK LIMITERS menu, to set amplitude limits on low-frequency signals sent to the Main Zone
audio output connectors, including the Subwoofer. The RV-8 is equipped with an internal limiter to prevent low-frequency signals from exceeding
a designated output level. This is essential for Dolby Digital and DTS(-ES) sources that produce low-frequency signal peaks at much higher output
levels than 2-channel sources. In home theaters, there is a danger of the subwoofers and their associated amplifiers overloading when attempting
to reproduce low-frequency signals.
Note:
Configure BASS PEAK LIMITERS menu parameter settings whether
output levels are automatically or manually calibrated.
CAL NOISE ON, OFF
Determines whether bass peak limiters are set with an internal or
external calibration source.
To set the CAL NOISE parameter:
• Select ON to activate an internal calibration noise signal to set
bass peak limiters.
• Select OFF to deactivate the internal calibration noise signal.
Setting bass peak limiters with the calibration noise set to OFF requires
an external calibration source such as an audio calibration disc.
