Notes on Lowpass filter
• When the speaker size is “SMALL ”, the unit cannot
sufficiently reproduce the bass range.
• You can set the lowpass filter frequency according to the
playback frequency range and arrange the unit to output the
missing bass range from the subwoofer.

B only.

Notes on “BI-AMP”
This function activates automatically when you play analog
audio sources or 2-channel PCM signals through bi-wire
