If you connect a subwoofer
When the audio signal is 2 channel stereo or if
the source signal does not include an LFE signal,
the receiver generates a low frequency signal for
output to the subwoofer. However, the low
frequency signal is not output when “Neo:6
Cinema” or “Neo:6 Music” is selected.
You can take advantage of surround sound

exciting and powerful sound of movie theaters
and concert halls into your home.
