Hi-bit32
Creates a wider dynamic range with digital sources like
CDs, DVDs or BDs. Smoother, more delicate musical
expression can be achieved by requantizing 16 bit PCM

lossless audio signals to 32 bit. ON
OFF

LFE
(LFE Attenuate)
Some audio sources include ultra-low bass tones. Set the
LFE attenuator as necessary to prevent the ultra-low bass
tones from distorting the sound from the speakers.
The LFE is not limited when set to 0 dB, which is the
recommended value. When set to –5 dB, –10 dB, –15 dB
or –20 dB, the LFE is limited by the respective degree.
When OFF is selected, no sound is output from the LFE
channel.
