Adjusting the sound parameters for the Surround and DSP modes

You can adjust the Surround and DSP sound parameters to your preference. (For Surround and DSP modes, see pages 42 to 49.)

7Adjustable parameters

You can adjust the following parameters:

For Surround and DSP modes (when the center speaker is connected)

This setting is common to all Surround modes, and is memorized separately for DSP modes.

CTR TONE Adjust the center tone. As the number increases, the dialogue becomes clearer so that the human voices change from soft to sharp.

(Adjustable range: 1 to 5. “3” is the initial setting, and normally select this.)

For DAP modes and Mono Film

Once you have made an adjustment, it is memorized for each mode.

EFFECT

Adjust the effect level. As the number

 

increases, the effect becomes stronger.

 

(Adjustable range: 1 to 5. “3” is the initial

 

setting, and normally select this.)

 

 

ROOMSIZE

Adjust the virtual room size. As the number

 

increases, the interval between reflections

 

increases so that you will feel as if you were

 

in a larger room.

 

(Adjustable range: 1 to 5. “3” is the initial

 

setting, and normally select this.)

 

 

LIVENESS

Adjust the liveness effect. As the number

 

increases, the attenuation level of reflections

 

over time decreases so that acoustics change

 

from “Dead” to “Live.”

 

(Adjustable range: 1 to 5. “3” is the initial

 

setting, and normally select this.)

 

 

For Pro Logic IIx Music and Pro Logic II Music

PNRM CNTRL Select “ON” to add “wraparound” sound effect with side-wall image. (Initial setting: “OFF.”)

CNTR WIDTH Adjust the center channel localization between the center speaker and the left/right front speakers. As the number increases, the center channel sound moves toward the left and right speakers. (Adjustable range: OFF and 1 to 7. “3” is the initial setting, and normally select this.)

DIMENSION Adjust the sound localization position. As the number increases, the sound localization moves towards forward from backward. (Adjustable range: 1 to 7. “4” is the initial setting, and normally select this.)

For Neo:6 Music only

CNTR GAIN Adjust the sound localization of the center channel. As the number increases, center channel will be localized clearly.

(Adjustable range: 0 to 1.0. “0.3” is the initial setting, and normally select this.)

You can also use the remote control for adjusting the speaker output level and DSP (DAP modes and Mono Film) effect levels (“EFFECT” and “LIVENESS”).
