Press SET UP.
Press P or p repeatedly to select “SP. LEVEL”.
Press ENTER (A/V amplifier or remote).
xEffect level (EFFECT)

Lets you adjust the “presence” of the current surround effect.

xWall type (WALL)

Lets you control the level of the high frequencies to alter the sonic character of your listening environment by simulating a softer (S) or harder (H) wall. The midpoint designates a neutral wall (made of wood).

xReverberation (REVERB)

Lets you control the spacing of the early reflections to simulate a sonically longer (L) or shorter (S) room. The midpoint (0) designates a standard room with no adjustment.

xScreen depth (S.DEPTH)

Lets you create the same sensation in your listening room by shifting the sound of the front speakers “into” the screen. This parameter can be set to “OFF”, “M” (MID), or “D” (DEEP). “D” provides the greatest amount of screen depth.

xVirtual speaker (VIR.SP.)

Lets you turn the virtual speakers created by the SEMI C.EX A, B, C sound fields off or on.

Adjusting the level parameters

The SP. LEVEL menu contains parameters that let you adjust the balance of front speakers and speaker volume of the subwoofer. The settings available in this menu are applied to all sound fields.

See the table on page 34 for the speaker level parameters.

xFront balance (FRONT)

Lets you adjust the balance between the front left and right speakers.

xSubwoofer level (SUB W.)

Lets you adjust the level of the subwoofer.

xLFE (Low Frequency Effect) mix level (LFE)

Lets you attenuate the level of the LFE (Low Frequency Effect) channel output from the sub woofer without effecting the level of the bass frequencies sent to the subwoofer from the front channels via the Dolby Digital bass redirection circuitry.

•“0 dB” outputs the full LFE signal at the mix level determined by the recording engineer.

•“MUTING” mutes the sound of the LFE channel from the sub woofer. However, the low frequency sounds of the front speakers are output from the subwoofer.

xDynamic range compressor (D.COMP.)

Lets you compress the dynamic range of the sound track. This may be useful when you want to watch movies at low volumes late at night.

•“OFF” reproduces the sound track with no compression.

•“STD” reproduces the sound track with the dynamic range intended by the recording engineer.

•“0.1” – “0.9” allow you to compress the dynamic range in small steps to achieve the sound you desire.

•“MAX” provides a dramatic compression of the dynamic range.

Note

Dynamic range compression is possible with Dolby Digital sources only.
