The MODE ADJUST Menu

LFE MIX (-20.0 or -10.0 to +0.0dB)

LFE MIX adjusts the level of the LFE channel (the .1 channel in a 5.1 or 6.1-channel source) that is sent to the SUBWOOFER L/R outputs. Low frequencies from as many as five other channels may be combined with the LFE channel to create the SUBWOOFER L/R output signal, significantly raising subwoofer output levels. Careful adjustment of this parameter allows achievement of proper tonal balance and reduces the risk of subwoofer overload.

MASTER LEVEL	(-5 to +5dB)
MASTER LEVEL adjusts	the output level of LOGIC7 encoded
2-channel signals.
MODE	(MODE)

MODE indicates the name of the selected listening mode.

OUTPUT LEVELS

See page 5-17 for information about OUTPUT LEVELS.

PANORAMA (ON, OFF)

When set to ON, PANORAMA extends the front stereo image to include the surround speakers for a “wraparound” effect with side wall imaging.

RE-EQUALIZER (ON, OFF)

RE-EQUALIZER simulates the high-frequency rolloff that occurs in a movie theater as sound travels from speakers to the listeners. When set to ON, the unit applies a high-frequency rolloff. When set to OFF, the unit does not apply a high-frequency rolloff. Most films are mixed for movie theaters, and may sound too bright when played back in home theaters without re-equalization. RE-EQUALIZER should be set to ON for such film sources.

REAR DLY OFFSET (0 to 30ms)

REAR DLY OFFSET (Rear Delay Offset) increases the perceived depth of the listening space by delaying the arrival time of signals from the rear speakers. This time delay can be set within a range of 0 to 30ms. Increasing this time is recommended when using SIDE L/R and REAR L/R speakers that are located close together, or when a greater sense of depth is desired in the listening space.

REAR L/R (OFF, -30 to +12dB)

REAR L/R (Rear Left/Right) adjusts the output level of the REAR L/R outputs.

REF OFFSET (-4dB)

REF OFFSET (Reference Offset) indicates the dialog normalization value that is present in Dolby Digital input types.

SAMPLE RATE (44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, 96kHz)

SAMPLE RATE indicates the sample rate of the input type.

SIDE L/R (OFF, -30 to +12dB)

SIDE L/R (Side Left/Right) can be used to adjust the output level of the SIDE L/R outputs.
