Customizing Sound Fields - Sony DAV-S300 Operating Instructions Manual

Customizing Sound Fields

By adjusting the surround parameters of the front, rear
and center speakers, you can customize the sound fields
to suit your particular listening situations.
Once you customize a sound field, the changes are stored
in memory indefinitely (unless the system is unplugged
for about a day). You can change a customized sound
field any time by making new adjustments to the
parameters.
See the table below for the parameters available in each
sound field.
To get the most from multichannel surround
sound
Position your speakers and do the procedures described
in "Speaker Setup" starting on page 14 before you
customize a sound field.
