SUBWOOFER LEVEL
For CD or DVD output, the optimal sub level is referenced at the factory to the "0"
level position, and stipulated by THX® Labs as neutral. Optimal sub levels and user
preference may vary from movies, music and games. Often a high bass level is
preferred, especially at low listening levels. Remember to reset the control settings
before playing CDs or films on DVD.
