Sound Fields

How can you customize the sound fields?

Each sound field is composed of sound parameters —

variables of sound that create sound image. You can

customize the sound fields by adjusting some of the

sound parameters to best suit your listening situation.

See the following chart for the adjustable sound

parameters.

Once you customize the sound fields, they are stored in

memory unless the receiver is unplugged for about 1

week.

The adjustable parameters for each sound field are

shown on the charts below.
