Shaping the Sound

Listening to other sources with room effects

You can add room effects to audio CDs and other stereo sources using the DSP modes. Different effects work better with different kinds of music, so don’t be afraid to experiment a little.

There are seven DSP effects to choose from:

• Hall 1 – Large, wood-paneled concert hall sound.

• Hall 2 – Large, stone-walled concert hall sound.

• Jazz – Live jazz club sound.

• Dance – Nightclub sound.

• Theater 1 – Classic, mid-size movie theater sound.

• Theater 2 – Large, modern movie theater sound.

• Simulated Stereo – Virtual stereo for mono sources.

Notes

• The DSP effects cannnot be used with 96kHz/24-bit sources, or in combina- tion with the Dolby/DTS mode.

• When playing stereo sources with DSP effects switched off, there is no sound from the surround and center speakers.

1Press SYS then DSP to select a sound mode.

Each press changes the mode as follows:

•HALL 1

•HALL 2

•JAZZ

•DANCE

•THEATER 1

•THEATER 2

•SIMULATED STEREO

•DSP OFF (no effects added)

To adjust the effect level when using one of the DSP effects:

1Press SYS then SOUND CON- TROL.

2Use the % and Þ buttons to adjust the effect level.

You can adjust the effect level in the range of 10 to 90.

Listening at low volume

When the volume is low, surround effects tend to become less than satisfactory. Turn the Midnight listening mode on to enjoy quality surround sound even at low volumes.

¥Press SYS then MIDNIGHT to switch Midnight listening mode on/off.

Adjusting channel volume levels

Depending on your room and where you’re sitting, you may want to adjust the relative volumes of one or more speakers for a more balanced sound. You can do this in any mode, including the Dolby Digital/ DTS, DSP, and stereo modes. Settings that you make in any sound mode are completely independent and don’t affect any other mode.

Notes

•Each DSP effect has its own set of channel level settings.

•The channel levels you set for the Dolby/DTS mode apply to all Advanced Theater effects.

•The headphone level is not affected by the channel level settings.

1 Press SYS then CH SELECT.

Adjustments to the channel volume levels will affect only the current sound mode.

2Use the @ and # buttons to select a channel to adjust.

The display shows the channel and its current setting.

•Remember that not all channels are available in all sound modes.

3Use the % and Þ buttons to adjust the volume of the current channel.

For best results, sit in your main listening position when doing this. You can adjust each speaker in the range of +/-10 dB.

4When you're done, press

ENTER.
