Philips 190G6 user manual Effects Tab, Normalization

Product Information

3.3.1. Effects Tab

The Effects Tab is the first of the Main Control Panel tabs. Below is a description of all the features on the Effects tab.

QSizzle

QSizzle is a mid and high frequency (treble) enhancement algorithm that helps to compensate for the loss of presence, punch and signal detail that often results from compressed digital media, such as MP3 and WMA formats.

QSizzle self-adjusts in real time according to frequency response of the input signal. This is different from the Equalizer, which is a fixed frequency processor. The Equalizer does not monitor the input signal or perform self- adjustment. The label QSizzle Active appears in illuminated text when QSizzle is enabled, and QSizzle Off when disabled.

QRumble

QRumble is a powerful low frequency enhancement algorithm that helps to compensate for loss of bass that may result from compressed digital media such as MP3’s or WMA formats.

QRumble responds in real time to the varying nature of the input signal, automatically adjusting itself accordingly. This is very different from the Equalizer, which is a static frequency processor. The Equalizer does not monitor the input signal or perform self-adjustment.

The label QRumble Active appears in illuminated text when QRumble is enabled, and QRumble Off when disabled.

Normalization

Normalization automatically adjusts the volume variations in various audio files or streams. Quieter signals are amplified to match the level of louder ones, so that the listening volume maintains a consistent level. This means that when playing files with various output levels, the need to constantly adjust your speaker volume is minimized.

The label Normalization Active appears in illuminated text when Normalization is enabled, and Normalization Off when disabled.

3D Effects

Three separate 3D audio enhancement algorithms are provided to maximize the spatial experience no matter what the combination of signal type and output hardware.

When 3D Effects are enabled, the audio processor will automatically choose the appropriate algorithm (3D mode) according to your output configuration and the type of input signal. The 3D Effects indicator LED's on front panel and the indicators on the Effects Tab illuminate to show which algorithm is active at any given time.

QXpander

Optimizes stereo input played over speakers or headphones. When QXpander is active it provides a wider sound field far exceeding physical position of the speakers.

QSurround

Optimizes a multi-channel source (e.g. a 5.1 channel DVD) to create "virtual" speakers and immerse the listener in surround sound.
