DTS Effects and Parameters

RE-EQUALIZER equalizes the left, center, and right channel outputs to match the overall frequency balance of the original recording. Without this re-equalization, many films and some television programs will sound too bright.

REAR DELAY OFFSET is an additional delay added to the rear channels when listening to LOGIC 7 and MUSIC SURROUND. This delay increases the apparent size of the listening space by increasing the rear delay time. Feel free to experiment to find the setting that works best. SUBWOOFER LVL boosts or cuts the subwoofer output level. Although the normal subwoofer level is set during the calibration procedure, with some recordings it may be desirable to increase or decrease this deep bass level.

REAR LEVEL controls the volume level of the rear speakers. Although we have selected a default value, the correct setting will vary with each recording, the room, and your personal taste.

SIDE LEVEL controls the volume level of the side speakers. Although we have selected a default value, the correct setting will vary with each recording, the room, and your personal taste.

SUBWOOFER LVL boosts or cuts the subwoofer output level. Although the normal subwoofer level is set during the calibration procedure, with some recordings it may be desirable to increase or decrease this deep bass level.

SURROUND EX (available as of software version 4) extracts and reproduces the additional rear channel mixed into SURROUND EX encoded soundtracks. This parameter is automatically set to ON when both SIDE and REAR speakers are selected in the SPEAKER CON- FIGURATION menu, and will not operate unless SIDE and REAR speakers are selected. SURROUND EX decoding can be engaged during playback of non-SURROUND EX encoded 5.1 material, how- ever, the information delivered to the rear channels may not be pleasing.

SURROUND MIX allows independent adjustment of the level of the surround channels. Many multichannel-encoded soundtracks sound better when down-mixed to two channels with the surround level increased by approximately 2-3dB.

VOCAL ENHANCE boosts dialog in the center channel. By targeting specific frequencies, it can boost only dialog, without raising the entire center channel level (which would alter the output balance achieved during calibration).
