If you connect a sub woofer
When the audio signal is 2 channel stereo or if
the source signal does not include a LFE signal,
the receiver generates a low frequency signal for
output to the sub woofer. However the low
frequency signal is not generated when “Neo:6
Cinema” or “Neo:6 Music” is selected.
You can take advantage of surround sound
simply by selecting one of the receiver’s pre-
programmed sound fields. They bring the
exciting and powerful sound of movie theaters
and concert halls into your home.
Selecting a sound field for
