English IN COMBINATION WITH SPEAKERS
÷ With playback of Dolby* Digital, establishment of a
special channel for the subwoofer is recommended;
and with playback of LFE (Low Frequency Effect:
sound effect like the rumbling of the earth, whose
purpose is to intensify the force of the video), the S-
W40S is especially effective.

Dolby* Digital
Dolby Digital is the name of the Dolby Surround multi-
channel digital system that was developed from Dolby
Surround, as a continuation of Dolby Pro Logic Surround.
Dolby Digital is also referred to as a 5.1 channel system.
This is because it has 5 channels in the 20Hz – 20kHz
frequency range (front left and right, center, and rear left
and right) and an independent channel for the subwoofer.
The subwoofer channel is also referred to as LFE (Low
Frequency Effect).
The LFE channel is used according to individual tastes to
enhance the bass effect.

NOTE:
When connected to the PREOUT terminal for surround center channel on the stereo amplifier or receiver, the bass is heard only on the
center channel, so it will be insufficient.
The frequency characteristics of the S-W40S combined
with satellite speakers are shown below. As shown in
these figures, the low frequency range is improved.
÷ These special characteristics are obtained in an
echoless chamber. The effect of an additional
subwoofer in an ordinary listening room is better than
the chart indicates when positioned adequately.
