LISTENING MODE MENU PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS

RESET MODECUSTOMListening ModeMODE ADJUST
5 SPKR ENHANCE ON, OFF
Simulates 7-channel playback in 5-channel speaker setups. When
ON is selected, the MC-12 provides an increased sense of spaciousness
and envelopment through the surround speakers. This enhancement
is most noticeable when the surround speakers are positioned to
the sides of the primary listening position or when the primary
listening position is located against the rear wall. The effectiveness
of this parameter varies within the listening space. For best results,
it is recommended to position the surround speakers to the left and
right sides of the primary listening position.
ACADEMY FILTER ON, OFF
Selecting the ON setting 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 ON is selected, the MC-12
continually monitors 2-channel input signals and automatically
adjusts the relative level and time offset of the input channels to
ensure that signals are sent to the appropriate channels with
maximum separation. When OFF is selected, the accuracy of
the selected listening mode varies among input sources. It is
recommended to 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 MC-12 activates low-frequency
compensation. Select this setting for true binaural sources recorded
with dummy head microphones. Select the MONO setting for
input sources recorded with mono bass. Select the STEREO setting
for input sources recorded with stereo bass.
