Boosting the bass
Bass boost function boosts the bass level of
sound lower than 100 Hz. The more the bass
level is increased, the more the bass sound is
emphasized and the entire sound becomes
powerful. When using this function with the
subwoofer, the sound under the cut-off fre-
quency is boosted.

play.

Push MULTI-CONTROL up or down to
select a desired level.
0 to +6 is displayed as the level is increased or

Front image enhancer (F.I.E.)
The F.I.E. (Front Image Enhancer) function is a
simple method of enhancing front imaging by
cutting mid- and high-range frequency output
from the rear speakers, limiting their output to
low-range frequencies. You can select the fre-
quency you want to cut.
Precaution
When the F.I.E. function is deactivated, the rear
speakers output sound of all frequencies, not just
bass sounds. Reduce the volume before disenga-
ging F.I.E. to prevent a sudden increase in vo-
lume.

lect FIE.

Adjusting source levels

the volume level of each source to prevent ra-
dical changes in volume when switching be-
tween sources.

level, which remains unchanged.

with the level of the source you wish to ad-
just.

are set to the same source level adjustment
volume automatically.
