Customizing the Sound Fields

Each sound field is composed of equalizer parameters (bass/treble) and surround sound parameters — variables of sound that create the sound image. You can customize the sound fields by adjusting some of the sound parameters (equalizer and/or surround sound parameters) to suit your listening situation.

Once you customize the sound fields, they are stored in memory unless the processor is unplugged for about 1 week. To change a customized sound field, make new adjustments to the respective sound field.

zCompressing the dynamic range (except for

ACOUSTIC)

When inputting a Dolby Digital (AC-3) signal you can compress the dynamic range of the sound track by using the dynamic range compression ratio (D. RANGE COMP) parameter in the surround menu. This may be useful when you want to watch movies at low volumes late at night. See page 16 for details on the dynamic range compression parameter.
