evel – Dolby Digital has a separate point one channel

that includes the low frequency effects (explosions,

crashes, thumps). This allows you to adjust the relative

loudness of these effects versus the rest of the soundtrack.

evel – DTS soundtracks have a LFE (subwoofer)

soundtrack recorded 10 dB lower than Dolby Digital. We

recommend the –10dB setting to boost the LFE soundtrack

to the same as other formats. The 0 dB setting leaves the

DTS LFE channel unaffected.

Sub StereoSub Stereo

Sub Stereo – This adjusts the relative level of the

subwoofer channels in the Stereo Music modes. Your

personal tastes should be the guideline for this adjustment

after the other levels have been properly calibrated.

y Gain Compensation – This setting tailors the

low frequency response of the subwoofer. When set to

“On”, this rolls off the lowest frequencies to the subwoofer.

This minimizes interactions and interference from floors

and walls near the subwoofer. When set to “Off”, the

subwoofer output of the Maestro is flat to 20Hz.
