Customizing Sound Fields

Discs Playing

By adjusting the surround parameters of the front, rear and center speakers, you can customize the sound fields to suit your particular listening situations.

Once you customize a sound field, the changes are stored in memory indefinitely (unless the system is unplugged for about a day). You can change a customized sound field any time by making new adjustments to the parameters.

See the table below for the parameters available in each sound field.

To get the most from multichannel surround sound

Position your speakers and do the procedures described in “Speaker Setup” starting on page 14 before you customize a sound field.
