LISTENING MODE MENU OPTION & PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS

5 SPKR ENHANCE

ON, OFF

Simulates 7-channel playback in 5-channel speaker configurations. When set to ON, the AV1 provides an increased sense of spacious- ness and envelopment through the surround speakers. This enhancement is most noticeable when the surround speakers are positioned to the side of the primary listening position, or when the primary listening position is located against the rear wall. The effec- tiveness of this parameter varies within the listening space. For best results, it is recommended that you position the surround speakers to the left and right sides of the primary listening position.

ACADEMY FILTER

ON, OFF

When set to ON, restores the proper tonal balance of older mono film sources that have much narrower frequency responses than more recent mono film sources.

AUTO AZIMUTH

ON, OFF

Maximizes matrix steering accuracy. When set to ON, the AV1 con- tinually monitors the 2-channel input signal and automatically adjusts the relative level and time offset of the input channels to ensure that signals are sent to the appropriate channels with maxi- mum separation. When set to OFF, the accuracy of the selected lis- tening mode varies among sources. It is recommended that you set this parameter to ON for film and broadcast sources and to OFF for music sources.

BASS CONTENT

BINAURL, MONO, STEREO

Adjusts the bass content of binaural, mono and stereo recordings. When set to BINAURL, the AV1 activates low-frequency compensa- tion. Select this setting for true binaural sources recorded with dummy head microphones. Select the MONO setting for sources recorded with mono bass. Select the STEREO setting for sources recorded with stereo bass.

BASS ENHANCE

ON, OFF

Enhances stereo bass, which results in low-frequency reproduction that is less localizable and more realistic in the listening space. The effectiveness of the BASS ENHANCE parameter varies depending on room acoustics and the ability of the surround speakers to repro- duce low frequencies. It is recommended that you use front, side or rear speakers that are capable of reproducing frequencies of 40Hz or lower.

Note:

When the BASS ENHANCE parameter is set to ON, most listening spaces have a 2dB to 3dB reduction in low-frequency energy. It is recommended that you use the AUDIO CONTROLS menu BASS parameter to compensate for this reduction.

CAUTION!

When set to ON, the BASS ENHANCE parameter might damage speakers that are not capable of producing low frequencies below 80Hz.
