PCM Effects and Parameters

PCM Effect Parameters

5 SPEAKER ENHANCE simulates 7 speaker playback through a 5

speaker system, providing a heightened sense of spaciousness and

envelopment without extra speakers. This enhancement is most notice-

able if the surround speakers are positionned directly to the side of the

listening position, or if the listening position is located against the rear

wall.

Note that, although this provides very convincing improvement to a 5

speaker system, it is not a substitute for a properly set up and calibrated

7 speaker system. The difference is most noticeable when the listener

is seated to one side or the other of the calibration position.

ACADEMY FILTER is provided to recreate the proper tonal balance of

older monaural films that were recorded with much narrower and duller

frequency response than current films.

AUTO AZIMUTH is short for auto azimuth error correction/automatic

input balance. Auto Azimuth should be set to ON for films, and OFF for

music. When ON, special patented algorithms continually monitor the

input signal and adjust both the relative level and time offset of the two

channels to keep the dialog properly centered and special effects

properly localized. This automatic feature is the reason the unit does not

need an input balance control for Dolby Surround decoding.

BASS CONTENT allows you to modify the bass content for Mono,

Stereo or Binaural recordings. The BINAURAL setting turns the rear

level parameter off and activates special low-frequency compensation.

This feature is offered specifically for true binaural recordings made with

a dummy head.

BASS ENHANCE derives stereo bass to provide low frequencies that

are noticeably less localizable and more spacious in the playback room.

Note that results will vary depending on room acoustics and the low

frequency capacity of the surround speakers. As side and/or rear

Mono Logic

Mono Logic takes a monaural soundtrack and sends music and sound

effects to the sides and rear through a room simulator mode while

keeping the dialog in the center.
