Listening Mode Menu Parameter Descriptions

(continued from page 5-39)

SIZE

4 to 20 or 30m

Adjusts listening space length within a 4 to 20 or 30m range (depending on the listening mode). Increase the size of the space to increase the reverb effect. The full parameter range might not be available depending on the BASS RT and MID RT parameter settings.

CAUTION Setting the BASS RT, MID RT, or SIZE parameters to a high value may produce undesirable or damaging audio.

SOUND STAGE

FRONT, NEUTRAL, REAR

Dynamically controls the relative balance of the Main Zone audio output connectors labeled Side L/R and Rear L/R. When FRONT is selected, Side L/R and Rear L/R output levels are attenuated by 6dB, shifting the perceived balance of the sound field to the front of the listening space. When NEUTRAL is selected, Side L/R and Rear L/R output levels are slightly attenuated by 3dB, shifting the perceived balance of the sound field to the center of the listening space. When REAR is selected, Side L/R and Rear L/R output levels are not attenuated, preserving the intended balance of the sound field.

SOURCE

RIGHT, LEFT & RIGHT, LEFT

Controls the perceived direction of the PANORAMA listening mode external calibration source signal. When RIGHT is selected, the sound is perceived to come from the right of the primary listening position. When LEFT is selected, the sound is perceived to come from the left of the primary listening position. When LEFT & RIGHT is selected, the sound is perceived to come from all around the primary listening position. Refer to the Calibration section that begins on page 5-12 for more information about the SOURCE parameter.

Note:

The SOURCE parameter controls the perceived direction of the sound, although both the front left and right speakers generate the external calibration source signal.

SPEAKER ANGLE

10 to 90deg

Compensates for a wide or narrow speaker angle relative to the primary listening position. Select the setting closest to the angle between the front left and right speakers and the primary listening position. Refer to the Calibration section that begins on page 5-12 for more information about the SPEAKER ANGLE parameter.

SPEECH DETECT

ON, OFF

Distinguishes monaural speech from other input sources. When ON is selected, effects are lowered to minimize interference and unnatural echo in monaural speech. When stereo sources are present, the front left and right channels are independently used as inputs for ambience synthesis. When strong monaural speech is present in the input source, the monaural component of the ambience effect is reduced and the stereo component of the effect is increased. When OFF is selected, the amount of ambience synthesis is dynamically controlled.

SUB L/R & SUB L/R LVL

OFF, -30 to +12dB

Controls the output level of the Main Zone audio output connectors labeled Subwoofer L/R. The SUB L/R parameter appears on the listening mode OUTPUT LEVELS menu. The SUB L/R LVL parameter appears on listening mode menus when the listening mode does not accommodate multi-channel output signals.
