LFE)
Initial setting: 0 dB
Lets you attenuate the level of the LFE (Low
Frequency Effect) channel output from the
subwoofer without effecting the level of the
bass frequencies sent to the subwoofer from the
front, center or surround channels via the
Dolby Digital or DTS bass redirection
circuitry. You can adjust from –20 dB to 0 dB
(line level) in 1 dB steps. “0 dB” outputs the
full LFE signal at the mix level determined by
the recording engineer. When set to “OFF”, the
sound of the LFE channel from the subwoofer
is muted. In this case, the low frequency sounds
of the front, center, or surround speakers are
output from the subwoofer.

• MAX
The dynamic range is compressed dramatically.
Tip
Dynamic range compressor lets you to compress the
dynamic range of the soundtrack based on the
dynamic range information included in the Dolby
Digital signal. “STD” is standard compression, but
because many sources have only light compression,
we recommend using the “MAX” setting. This greatly
compresses the dynamic range and lets you view
movies late at night at low volumes. Unlike analog
limiters, the levels are predetermined and provide a
very natural compression.
