■ Connecting a Rear Subwoofer
By using both Front and Rear Subwoofers, the CINEMA-DSP sound field
programs can produce realistic movie effects with powerful, dynamic sound. To
take advantage of this dynamic sound, be sure to set the 1C. REAR L/R SP item
in the SET MENU to “LARGE” (see page 37), and connect your Rear speakers
and Subwoofer as shown below.

Connect your Rear speakers to the output terminals on the Rear

Be sure to connect the Rear speakers to the Subwoofer with the correct

Note:
• Adjust the speaker volume for the Subwoofer with the controls on the Subwoofers,
not on the DSP-AX1.
