Setup Menu Level Two - Bass Management

Bass management is designed to assure overall balanced bass response by accommodating

many different types of speaker systems that may or may not be able to reproduce frequencies

below 80 Hz. The Bass Management setup menu lets you configure all of your speakers to

accept low frequencies below 80 Hz, or to filter out these frequencies and route them to your

front speakers, or send them only to your subwoofer channels. THX certified speaker systems

should always be set to "SMALL/THX for the left, right, center, and surround outputs.

Additionally, there should always be a subwoofer in a THX speaker system
