be used to set amplitude limits for all speakers to which low
frequencies are redirected, including the subwoofer. 
The SDP-5 is equipped with an internal limiter that prevents low-
frequency output signals from exceeding a designated level. This is
essential for Dolby Digital and dts(-ES) input sources that produce
low-frequency peaks at much higher levels than 2-channel sources.
In home theaters, the...
