Increase the value of “DSP LEVEL” when

•The effect sound of the selected sound field program is too weak.

Decrease the value of “DSP LEVEL” when

•The sound is vague.

•You feel that the additional sound effect is excessive.

The ideal dialogue position.

If the dialogues are heard at the lower position of the video monitor screen, increase the value of “DIALG.LIFT”.
