USING THE DSP

LOUDSPEAKERS

Changing the listening position

The balance control of the DSP loudspeakers uses digital signal processing to compensate for an off-centre listening position

by delaying and diminishing the sound in one speaker, thus effectively shifting the speakerÕs image back.

The axis control allows you to adjust the optimum listening height of the DSP loudspeakers, like a balance control

operating in the vertical plane.

To change the balance

¥Press Function < or Function > on the remote until the display shows the current balance.

For example:

Bal. <0>

¥ Press Function A or Function V to change the balance.

The display shows the direction and position of the listening position.

For example:

Bal. 12>

There are 32 steps in each direction.

To change the axis

¥Press Function < or Function > on the remote until the display shows the current axis setting.

For example:

Axis -1

¥ Press Function A or Function V to change the axis.

The axis can be adjusted between 3 and -2, where 0 corresponds to the axis of the treble unit. Usually a listener will be below that position, so we recommend settings of -1 or -2.
