• ON

The virtual speakers are created.

• OFF

The virtual speakers are not created.

xSURR ENHANCER

(Surround reflection enhancer)

This parameter is especially for the Cinema Studio EX modes (page 35).

This parameter lets you add the effect of a broader sound when the surround channel sound is monaural.

•ON

The effect is automatically applied to sources recorded in Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital [2/1], [3/1] or dts [2/1], [3/1], etc. and the surround channel is monaural.

•OFF

This function is not activated.

xBASS FREQ. XXX.X Hz

(Bass frequency of the equalizer)

Initial setting: 250 Hz

Unlike the equalizer in the EQ menu (which lets you adjust the overall sound quality of each set of speakers), this parameter lets you adjust the bass frequency of each sound field. You can adjust from 99 Hz to 1.0 kHz in 21 steps.

xTREBLE FREQ. XXX.X Hz (Treble frequency of the equalizer)

Initial setting: 2.5 kHz

Unlike the equalizer in the EQ menu (which lets you adjust the overall sound quality of each set of speakers), this parameter lets you adjust the treble frequency of each sound field. You can adjust from 1.0 kHz to 10.0 kHz in 23 steps.

xLFE MIX LEVEL XXX.X dB

(LFE (Low Frequency Effect) mix level)

Initial setting: 0 dB

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 sub woofer from the front, center or surround channels via the Dolby Digital or DTS bass redirection circuitry. You can adjust from –20 dB to 0 dB (line level) in 0.5 dB steps. “0 dB” outputs the full LFE signal at the mix level determined by the recording engineer. When set to “OFF”, the sound of the LFE channel from the sub woofer is muted. In this case, the low frequency sounds of the front, center, or surround speakers are output from the sub woofer according to the settings made for each speaker (pages 19–21).
