audio performance and selectivity of the receiver, so you can enjoy high-quality radio without
interference.

to AM frequency channels. It also reinforces noise reduction in weak signal areas,
and raises AM sensitivity – for a refined and superior radio performance.

A High Pass Filter is a filter that passes high frequencies well, but attenuates (or reduces)
frequencies lower than an adjustable cut-off frequency. For example, when you do not want
low sounds to play from the tweeters or mid-range speakers, turn on the HPF (High Pass Filter)
on the tweeters’ or mid-range speakers’ channels. Only frequencies higher than the cut-off
frequency are outputted from the tweeters or mid-range speakers.
A Low Pass Filter is a filter that passes low frequencies well, but attenuates (or reduces)
frequencies higher than an adjustable cut-off frequency. For example, when you do not want
high sounds to play from the subwoofer, turn on the LPF (Low Pass Filter) on the subwoofer
channel. Only frequencies lower than the cut-off frequency are outputted from the subwoofer.
