2 Surround parameters r
EFFECT:
This parameter turns the effect signals with multi surround
mode speaker effects on and off in the WIDE SCREEN mode.
When this parameter is turned off, the SBL and SBR channel
signals are equivalent to the SL and SR channels, respectively.
LEVEL:
This parameter sets the strength of the effect signals in the
WIDE SCREEN mode. It can be set in 15 steps, from “1” to
“15”. Set this to a low level if the positioning or phase of the
surround signals sounds unnatural.
ROOM SIZE:
This sets the size of the sound field.
There are five settings: “small”, “med.s” (medium-small),
“medium”, “med.l” (medium-large) and “large”. “small”
recreates a small sound field, “large” a large sound field.
SB CH OUT
• ON:
Playback is conducted using the surround back speaker.
• OFF:
Playback is conducted without using the surround back
speaker.
EFFECT LEVEL:
This sets the strength of the surround effect.
The level can be set in 15 steps from 1 to 15. Lower the level
if the sound seems distorted.
DELAY TIME:
The delay time can be set within the range of 0 to 300 ms only
in the matrix mode.
Subwoofer ON/OFF:
The subwoofer output can be controlled directly.
SW ATT:
This is the parameter for reducing the level of the subwoofer
channel when playing in the EXT. IN input mode. Depending on
the player you are using, the subwoofer channel’s playback
level may seem too high. If so, set “SW ATT” to “ON”.
For DENON players, use with the default settings (“OFF”).
