Each source has a set of DSP presets associated with it, one for each of the alternative audio formats: two-channel (PCM), Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG, and MLP.

When you choose a source an appropriate DSP preset is selected for the incoming audio format.

For example, if you have selected the CD source and are playing a conventional CD, the Trifield DSP preset will initially be selected. You may then wish to choose a different DSP preset, such as Music or Ambisonic.

You can also change the default DSP preset associated with the source; See Changing the DSP preset for a source, page 30.

To change the DSP preset

Press > or < until the display shows Music the current DSP preset; for example:

Press A or V to step between the different DSP presets.

If you are using a Meridian DSP Loudspeaker, display the current preset by pressing Function > or Function <, and change the preset by pressing Function A or Function V.

You will be able to choose any of the predefined DSP presets, or any user-defined presets you have stored.
