Listening Mode Setup

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.

Front left speaker Front right speaker

Listening angle 20˚ - 40˚

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).

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.

Virtual Surr Lvl (Level)

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

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.

Front Effect

Some live recordings contain acoustic reverberation. When you play these sources, more reverberation will be applied by the DSP, creating too much reverb effects and the sound loses frame or presence. In this case, set this setting to “Off.” No reverberation from the DSP will be applied to the sound output from the three front channels, so the sound source is be played as it is without any further reverberation.

Reflect Lvl (Level)

This parameter allows you to adjust the strength of direct sound reflections to match the playback source material, the acoustics of your room, and such other factors. This can be set between –5 and +5 decibels in 1-decibel increments.

Reverb Lvl (Level)

This parameter allows you to adjust the depth of acoustic reverberation to match the playback source material, the acoustics of your room, and such other factors. This can be set between –5 and +5 decibels in 1-decibel increments.

Room Size

This parameter allows you set virtual hall size to simulate for each surround mode. You can choose from “Large,” “Mid-Large,” “Middle,” “Mid-Small,” or “Small.”
