Adjusting The Speaker Volume - Sony SDP-EP9ES Mode D'emploi

Sub woofer selection
Initial setting is : SUB WOOFER [YES]
• If you connect a sub woofer, select "YES" to output the
LFE (low frequency extension) channel from the sub
woofer.
• If you do not connect a sub woofer, select "NO". This
activates the Dolby Digital (AC-3) bass redirection
circuitry and outputs the LFE signals from other speakers.
• In order to take full advantage of the Dolby Digital (AC-3)
bass redirection circuitry, we recommend setting the sub
woofer's cut off frequency as high as possible. (However,
when using an amplifier with 5.1 ch inputs, set the sub
woofer's cut off frequency to match the characteristics of
the amplifier.
