Hint for adjusting the subwoofer • If the subwoofer is installed on the rear deck, setting a gentle L.P.F. slope (for example 6 dB/ oct.) makes the sound localization more to the rear. This can also affect the acoustic localization of the front. EN Hints for adjusting the high range • Depending on the speaker, inputting low frequency component signals (about 2 kHz or less) with the H.P.F. adjustment could result in distortion. If so, set a steep slope (for example 30 dB/oct.). When doing so, ad
