Adjusting The Speaker Volume; Adjusting The Delay Time - Sony SDP-E800 Mode D'emploi

Sub woofer
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.)
