Subwoofer Layout

When you are using multiple subwoofers, configure the subwoofer layout. The layouts that can be selected differ depending on the configuration of “Subwoofer Mode”.

[When “Subwoofers” is set to “2 spkrs”]

Left/Right
(Default):

Place subwoofers symmetrically on the front side.

Front/Rear:

Place a subwoofer in the middle of the front side and another in the middle of the rear side.

[When “Subwoofers” is set to “3 spkrs”]

FL/FR/Rear:

Place subwoofers symmetrically on the front side and one in the middle of the rear side.

[When “Subwoofers” is set to “4 spkrs”]

FL/FR/RL/RR:

Place the subwoofers in the four corners of the room.

This can be set when “Subwoofers” is set to “4 spkrs”, “3 spkrs” or “2 spkrs”, and “Subwoofer Mode” is set to “Directional”.

The name of the Subwoofer that is displayed in the GUI of this unit depends on the setting combination of “Subwoofers”, “Subwoofer Mode”, and “Subwoofer Layout”.

With the “Directional” setting, your room is divided into four areas as shown below so that each subwoofer plays the bass of the speaker set to other than “Full Range” which is located within the area.

Inst_Subwoofer_noFW

For example, if “Subwoofers” = 2 spkrs and Subwoofer Layout = Left/Right, Subwoofer Left (Subwoofer 1) plays the bass of the speakers in the Left area which includes FL/SL and Subwoofer Right (Subwoofer 2) plays the bass of the speakers in the Right area which includes FR/SR.
