  BASS OUT

Low-frequency (bass) signals can be directed to the 
subwoofer and/or the front left and right speakers 
according to the characteristics of your system. This 
setting also determines the routing of the LFE (low-
frequency effect) signals found in Dolby Digital or DTS 
sources.
Choices: SWFR (subwoofer), FRONT,

low-frequency signals from other channels are directed 
to the subwoofer according to the speaker settings.

low-frequency signals from other channels are directed 
to the front speakers according to the speaker settings 
(even if you have previously set the front speakers to 
SMALL).

• Select BOTH if you connect a subwoofer and you want 

to output low-frequency signals from front channels to 
both the front speakers and subwoofer. LFE and low-
frequency signals from other channels are also directed 
to the subwoofer according to the speaker settings. Use 
this function to reinforce low-frequency signals using 
the subwoofer when playing back sources such as CDs.

  CrossOver

Use this feature to select a cross-over (cut-off) frequency 
for all low-frequency signals. All frequencies below the 
selected frequency will be sent to the subwoofer.
