a) Academy

Older monaural film mixes relied on high-frequency rolloff in presentation to sound properly balanced, so that excessive hiss from the grain structure of the film would not be heard. The high- frequency loss was typically due to a combination of optical slit loss, electrical filters, loudspeaker response, and screen loss. Some films have been transferred to video without such a high-frequency rolloff, and thus sound overly bright and hissy. This unit includes this “Academy filter,” which is based on contemporary playback practices for such films over wide-range systems.

This can be set to either “On” or “Off.”

b) Input Channel

This allows you to set which input channel to use for monaural sound.

Auto L+R: Select this under normal circumstances.

When the input source is center channel only, this channel is used for monaural sound input channel. Otherwise, left and right channels are mixed and the mixed signal is used for monaural sound input channel.

Left/Right: You will need to select either left or right when playing a video source that contains bilingual data. In such a case, the left and right channels will contain different language. Select the channel with the language you desire.

Theater-Dimensional

For the best enjoyment of your home theater, it is recommended that you have at least front left and right speakers, a center speaker, and surround left and right speakers. However, if you only have front left and right speakers, you can enjoy multichannel audio by using this mode.

This mode controls the characteristics of the sound that reaches each ear to reproduce a multi-speaker setup. To receive the full effect, there is an optimum listening position (sweet spot). Refer to the explanation of the listening angle. In addition, if the reflective sound components are large, it may be difficult to achieve the desired result, so be sure to set up your system and listening position to minimize reflective sound.

a) Listening angle

The listening angle is the angle subtended by the front left and right speakers as seen from the listener. The setting of 20 and 40 degrees are only for nominal purposes, so select the setting that is closest to your actual listening angle.

Listening angle

b) Center

For systems that have a center speaker, the center channel signal can be output from the center speaker. For instance, in systems where the front left and right speakers are small, use of the center speaker may provide a better sound space. (If your system uses a center speaker, be sure to perform the level calibration with the left and right speakers in the Speaker Setup menu beforehand.)

On: The center channel signal is output to the center speaker.

Off: The center channel signal is output from the front left and right speakers (Phantom Center).

c) Front Expander

The front expander function spreads out the sound from the front speakers for the feeling of a wide sound space.

On: Select to turn on the front expander function to simulate a wider sound space.

Off: Select to turn off the front expander function for a normal sound space.

d) Virtual Surr Level

This parameter adjusts the virtual surround level. This can be set from –3 to +3 decibels.

Lowering this setting can improve the sound when the definition is unclear or when the sound feels unnatural.

e) Dialog Enhance

This parameter allows you to adjust the dialog sound level from the center speaker if it is difficult to hear.

On: Enhances the vocal ranges for the center channel signal.

Off: Outputs the center channel signal at the regular level and frequency characteristics.
