MODE PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS

5 SPKR ENHANCE (ON, OFF)

5 SPKR ENHANCE (Five Speaker Enhance) simulates seven speaker playback through a five speaker system. When set to ON, the unit provides an increased sense of spaciousness and envelopment through two surround speakers. This enhancement is most noticeable when these surround speakers are positioned to the side of the listening position, or when the listening position is located against the rear wall. The effectiveness of this parameter varies within the listening space. For optimum results, position the side speakers to the left and right of the primary listening position.

ACADEMY FILTER (ON, OFF)

When set to ON, ACADEMY FILTER restores the proper tonal balance of older mono film sources, which generally have much narrower frequency responses than current mono film sources.

AUTO AZIMUTH (ON, OFF)

AUTO AZIMUTH maximizes the output accuracy of the listening mode. When set to ON, the unit continually monitors the 2-channel input signal. It automatically adjusts the relative level and time offset of the input channels to ensure that signals are sent to the appropriate channels with maximum separation. When set to OFF, the accuracy of the listening mode varies depending on the input source. This parameter should be set to ON for film and TV sources, and OFF for music sources.
