T+A Elektroakustik DD 1535 R manual Balanceleft/rightandfront/surround, TonetrebleandTonebass

Balanceleft/rightandfront/surround:

These two menu points allow you to set a temporary change in the balance between the left/right and front/rear loudspeakers, in order to compensate for a temporary listening position which is less than perfect. You can alter the balance in 1 dB increments, and the current value is displayed in the following form:

10L	. . . . . . . .(left)		10R	(right)
	(surround)			(front)
10R			10F
Center		(neutral position)

Note:

It is important to start by setting the correct balance for the “standard” listening position, adjusting the volume of the front, surround and center channels. This task is carried out in the 'Speaker Balance Setup'.

Tone:trebleandTone:bass:

These two menu points allow you to set a temporary change in the treble and bass settings in order to compensate for tonal differences in the recorded material. The setting affects all channels, and the range of adjustment is +/- 6dB in 1 dB increments. The current value is displayed on the screen; 00 dB means 'Linear setting'.

Note:

It is important to start by establishing the correct tone settings for your room, to allow for imperfect loudspeaker positioning or room influences. This task is carried out in the 'Tone Control Menu'.

Subwooferlevel:

If you switch on the subwoofer in the 'Speaker Setup', in this menu point you can adjust its level within the range - 10 (dB) to +10 (dB) in order to match its volume to the acoustic conditions in your listening room, and to match the volume of the other channels.

If the subwoofer is switched off in the 'Speaker Setup', this menu point in the 'Main Menu' shows off . You cannot adjust the subwoofer level in this situation.

Note:

It is important to start by setting the correct balance between the other channels (front, rear and center). This task is carried out in the 'Speaker Balance Setup'.

Dynamicrange:

The dynamic range is the difference in volume between the quietest and loudest passages of a recording. The original sound track of a film usually features a very wide dynamic range, and the decoder is capable of reproducing the full range.

Unfortunately not every listening room can cope with the full dynamic range which the decoder is capable of reproducing. You also have to consider your neighbours, especially in the late evening.

To cope with these problems it is possible to reduce the dynamic range of Dolby Digital encoded sound material in three stages. The result is that quiet passages (e. g. low-level conversations) are reproduced slightly louder when the volume is set low, whereas loud passages (e. g. gigantic explosions) are slightly reduced in volume.

The following dynamic ranges are available:

standard highly compressed dynamic range, e. g. for playing at night-time.

high	standard setting, moderate compression of
	dynamic range.

full exploits the full dynamic range which the sound source makes available.

Note:

Any adjustment to the dynamic range only affects Dolby Digital encoded sound sources.

SoundDelay:

Some video monitors - especially 100 Hz types, plasma monitors and monitors with progressive scan function - create a delay in picture reproduction. In such cases the result may be poor synchronisation between sound and picture. Since certain source devices employ different picture transfer processes (analogue, progressive, SDI, HDMI), the sound delay may also be due to the source device.

In the menu point Sound Delay you can set a delay for sound reproduction within the range 0 … 150 ms in order to correct the synchronisation between sound and picture (“lip synchronisation”). This value can be set separately for each source device (see also the 'Special Functions' menu for a simplified method of setting the basic value).
