Mode Adjust

Lexicon

LISTENING MODE MENU OPTION and PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS (continued)

•This parameter is available in 5.1 PLIIx MOV, 5.1 PLIIx MUS, DOLBY DIGITAL EX and DOLBY DIGITAL modes.

•When the Shift command bank is activated, pressing the remote control DOLBY button while a 5.1-channel Dolby Digital source is present activates the Dolby DIGITAL EX or Dolby DIGITAL listening mode. Subsequent presses adjust the EX DECODING parameter, cycling through the AUTO, ON and OFF settings.

FRONT STEERING

OFF, MSURR, MUSIC, FILM

Adjusts front steering between the front left, front right, and center speakers. When set to FILM, maximum front steering is applied to the center channel. When set to MUSIC, moderate front steering is applied. When set to MSURR, minimum front steering is applied. When set to OFF, no front steering is applied. It is recommended that you set this parameter to FILM for film and broadcast sources and to MUSIC, MSURR or OFF for music sources. Available in L7 TV, L7 MUSIC, L7 MUSIC SURR, all 5.1 L7 modes and all DTS L7 modes.

INPUT BALANCE

L< to <> to >R

Controls the balance of the selected stereo analog audio input connectors, compensating for audio input sources with audible channel imbalance. Available in PANORAMA mode.

LFE MIX

–20.0 or -10.0 to +0.0dB

Controls the output level of LFE information – the .1 channel in a 5.1- or 6.1-channel input source – that is sent to the audio output labeled Subwoofer. Low frequencies from up to seven other channels might be combined with the LFE information to create the subwoofer output signal, which significantly increases subwoofer output levels.

Careful adjustment of this parameter allows achievement of proper tonal balance and reduces the risk of subwoofer overload. When the speaker setup does not include a subwoofer, LFE information is mixed into speakers for which the corresponding CUSTOM SETUP menu parameter is set to FULL or to the lowest crossover points. Available in all Dolby Digital modes except MONO modes (5.1 MONO LOGIC, 5.1 MONO SURR, 5.1 MONO) and all DTS modes.

LISTENER POS

–127 to +127

Compensates for primary listening positions that are not centered between the front left and right speakers. Each increment within the –127 to +127 parameter range represents about one-third of an inch. Refer to the Calibration section that begins on page 5-13 for more information. Available in PANORAMA CALIBRATION mode.

Note:

The LISTENER POS parameter range might extend past the location of the front left and right speakers.

LIVENESS

30ms to 20.2s

Depends on the SIZE parameter setting. The LIVENESS parameter adjusts the amount of effect recirculation. Higher settings mimic more reflective surfaces and increase decay time. Available in NIGHTCLUB and CONCERT HALL modes.

LOW FREQ WIDTH

–25 to +25dB

Applies low-frequency spatial correction to the input signal. This correction is applied to uncorrelated input signals below 60Hz. Available in PANORAMA mode.
