Using the sound field control

The SFC function creates the sensation of a live performance.

!The acoustics of different performance en- vironments are not the same and depend on the extent and contour of space through which sound waves move and on how sounds bounce off the stage, walls, floors and ceilings. At a live performance you hear music in three stages: direct sound, early reflections, and late reflections, or re- verberations. Those factors are programed into the SFC circuitry to recreate the acous- tics of various performance settings.

Note

 

If the source is a 2-channel LPCM audio or a 2-

 

channel Dolby Digital audio and you select SFC

 

effects that are most applicable for 5.1-channel

 

audio (i.e., MUSICAL, DRAMA or ACTION), we

 

recommend turning Dolby Pro Logic II on. On the

 

other hand, when selecting SFC effects that are

 

intended for use with 2-channel audio (i.e., JAZZ,

 

HALL or CLUB), we recommend turning Dolby

 

Pro Logic II off.

 

Using the position selector

One way to assure a more natural sound is to accurately position the stereo image, putting you right in the center of the sound field. The position selector function lets you automati- cally adjust the speaker output levels and in- serts a delay time to match the number and position of occupied seats. When used in con- junction with the SFC, the feature will make the sound image more natural and offer a pa- noramic sound that envelops you.
