Changing the DSP parameters

Each DSP preset provides a series of parameters that you can vary to customise the behaviour of the preset to your specific requirements. For example, most presets provide Balance and Depth parameters which alter the characteristics of the sound.

For each of the built-in DSP presets these parameters are set to standard values, designed to give the best sound in typical listening conditions and with most source materials. Each time you select a different DSP preset the parameters are reset to these standard values, even if you have previously altered them.

To save the changes you have made to one or more DSP parameters you can create a new user-defined DSP preset, with a name of your choice. User-defined presets appear in the list of DSP presets after the built-in ones. For more information about doing this see Defining your own presets, page 31.

To change a DSP parameter

Make sure the menus are unlocked; see To unlock the menus, page 22.

Press > or < until the display shows the name of the parameter you want to change.

Treble +1.5

For example:

Press A or V to change the value of the parameter.

As you change the value you will be able to hear the effect on the sound, and the display will show the current value.

After a short delay the display will revert to the normal display of DSP preset and volume.
