Integrated Function Controller

Single-click to return to the Room Gain Comp Function menu. Turn the IFC knob to move to the Room Gain Comp Slope submenu and single-click to change the slope value. The Room Gain Comp Slope defines the slope of the attenuation curve below the selected frequency. Two choices are available; 6 dB per octave and 12 dB per octave. To disable the Room Gain Comp feature, rotate the IFC knob until the message “ROOM GAIN COMP DISABLE?” is displayed. Single-click the IFC knob to disable the Room Gain Comp feature and single-click again to get to the top-level menu. If you get to the Room Gain Comp Function accidentally, double-click the IFC knob to return to the top-level menu.

Subwoofer Tune (Ported Subwoofers Only)

Note: This Function is active only in ported subwoofers and is inactive in sealed subwoofers.

The Subwoofer Tune Function allows the STA-800D/STA-1000D’s subsonic filter to be set based upon how the ports have been blocked on a ported subwoofer.

From the IFC WELCOME screen, single-click the IFC knob and rotate the IFC knob six clicks clockwise until the display reads “MENU/SUBWOOFER TUNE”. Single-click the IFC knob to select the Subwoofer Tune Function. Rotate the IFC knob clockwise or counter-clockwise to adjust the Subwoofer Tune setting. Single-click to select the desired tuning frequency. Single-click again to return to the top-level menu. If this function is selected ac- cidentally, double-click to skip the function and return to the top-level menu.

The range of adjustment of this control is 20Hz (all ports open), 16Hz (one port blocked) or Sealed (all ports blocked).

P-EQ (Parametric EQualizer)

Note: Setting the Level of PEQ1 (STA-800D/STA-1000D) or PEQ2 (STA-1000D) to 0 effectively disables it.

The P-EQ Function allows room modes that exaggerate certain bass frequencies in a room to be reduced to by up to 12 dB. Dips in frequency response can be boosted by up to 3 dB. The result of a reduction tames boomi- ness and “one note bass” phenomenon that occur when a narrow range of bass frequencies are significantly louder than surrounding frequencies. Boosting a dip can bring forward frequencies that are masked by normal levels around the dip.

The STA-800D has a single PEQ filter and the STA-1000D has two PEQ filters. PEQ1 and PEQ2 can be set in- dependently from each other, allowing for more flexibility in setting up the SVS subwoofer in any particular listening environment. Both PEQ1 and PEQ2 operate identically.
