Customizing sound fields

By adjusting the surround parameters and the
equalization of the front, center, surround, and
surround back speakers, 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 starting from page 85 for the
parameters available in each sound field.
