SOUND FIELD PROGRAM PARAMETER EDITING

Digital sound field parameter descriptions

You can adjust the values of certain digital sound field parameters so the sound fields are recreated accurately in your listening room. Not all of the following parameters are found in every program.

■DSP LEVEL

Function:

This parameter adjusts the level of all the DSP effect sounds within a narrow range.

Description:

Depending on the acoustics of your listening room, you may want to increase or decrease the DSP

effect level relative to the direct sound. Control Range: –6 dB to +3 dB

■ DELAY

Function:

Adjusts the time difference between the beginning of the sound from the main speakers and the

 

beginning of the sound effect from the rear speakers. The larger the value, the later the sound effect is

 

generated.

Control range:

1 to 99 ms (Control range varies depending on the input source and the DSP program you use.)

For 5ch Stereo

Function:

These parameters adjust the volume level for each channel in 5-channel stereo mode.

Control range:

0 to 100%

■CT LEVEL (Center level)

■RL LEVEL (Rear left level)

■RR LEVEL (Rear right level)

–3 (towards the rear) to +3 (towards the front), initial setting is STD (standard).

■CT WIDTH (Center width)

Function:

Adjusts the center image from all three front speakers to varying degrees. A larger value adjusts the

 

center image towards the main left and right speakers.

from main left and right speakers), initial setting is 3.
