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 33.
