Customizing sound fields
By adjusting the level parameters, you can customize the sound fields to suit your particular listening situation.
Once you customize a sound field, the changes are stored in the memory indefinitely. You can change a customized sound field any time by making new adjustments to the parameters.
See the tables on page 32 for the parameters available in each sound field.
