Initial Set up
Bass Peak Level
The LFE (Low Frequency Effect) channel in Dolby Digital, DTS or MPEG program sources can produce heavy
ultra-low bass tones that may exceed the capabilities of your speaker system. The following steps show you
how to set a maximum output level for the LFE channel. If continuing from “Crossover Network” go to step 1. If
starting fresh, complete steps 1 – 3 in "Setting Up for Surround Sound" (p. 30 – 31) first.
1 Select “Bass Peak Level” (“Bass Level” on the
front Panel) with the
5¥∞ buttons or MULTI
JOG dial (if continuing from CROSSOVER
NETWORK it will already be selected).
See “Setting Up for Surround Sound“ on p. 30 – 31 if you are
unsure how to do this.
Press the ENTER button.
2 Output the test tone for the LFE channel
and specify the peak level.
If your subwoofer has a volume control, set it to the middle
position before proceeding.
1 SETTING START will be selected, press ENTER
The MASTER VOLUME goes to the reference level [MIN (---
dB)]. Then the test tone is output to the subwoofer, front or
surround speakers.
2 Use the 5¥∞ buttons (or the MULTI JOG dial) to select the
BASS PEAK LEVEL. Each press moves the level 1dB in a
range of -80dB to +12dB. Gradually increase the level of the
LFE channel until the test tone begins to distort. Then go
back and leave the level setting at a point just before that.
3 Press the ENTER button.
It takes a few seconds for the MASTER VOLUME to return
to its previous position.
3 EXIT ("Bass Peak Level End" on the front
panel) should be selected, press the ENTER
button to go to the "D-Range Control" setup.
Next, proceed to “Dynamic Range Control” on the next page.
If you want to change a setting before proceeding use the
5/∞ buttons (or the MULTI JOG dial) to go back.
