DTS Effects and Parameters

RE-EQUALIZER equalizes the left, center, and right channel outputs to

match the overall frequency balance of the original recording. Without

this re-equalization, many films and some television programs will

sound too bright.

REAR DELAY OFFSET is an additional delay added to the rear

channels when listening to LOGIC 7 and MUSIC SURROUND. This

delay increases the apparent size of the listening space by increasing

the rear delay time. Feel free to experiment to find the setting that works

best. SUBWOOFER LVL boosts or cuts the subwoofer output level.

Although the normal subwoofer level is set during the calibration

procedure, with some recordings it may be desirable to increase or

decrease this deep bass level.

REAR LEVEL controls the volume level of the rear speakers. Although

we have selected a default value, the correct setting will vary with each

recording, the room, and your personal taste.

SIDE LEVEL controls the volume level of the side speakers. Although

we have selected a default value, the correct setting will vary with each

recording, the room, and your personal taste.

SUBWOOFER LVL boosts or cuts the subwoofer output level. Although

the normal subwoofer level is set during the calibration procedure, with

some recordings it may be desirable to increase or decrease this deep

bass level.

SURROUND EX (available as of software version 4) extracts and

reproduces the additional rear channel mixed into SURROUND EX

encoded soundtracks. This parameter is automatically set to ON when

both SIDE and REAR speakers are selected in the SPEAKER CON-

FIGURATION menu, and will not operate unless SIDE and REAR

speakers are selected. SURROUND EX decoding can be engaged

during playback of non-SURROUND EX encoded 5.1 material, how-

ever, the information delivered to the rear channels may not be pleasing.

SURROUND MIX allows independent adjustment of the level of the

surround channels. Many multichannel-encoded soundtracks sound

better when down-mixed to two channels with the surround level

increased by approximately 2-3dB.

VOCAL ENHANCE boosts dialog in the center channel. By targeting

specific frequencies, it can boost only dialog, without raising the entire

center channel level (which would alter the output balance achieved

during calibration).
