Customizing the Sound Fields

Each sound field is composed of a tone parameter
(bass/treble) and surround sound parameters —
variables of sound that create the sound image. You
can customize the sound fields by adjusting some of
the sound parameters to suit your listening situation.
Also, since this receiver uses Digital Signal Processing
(DSP), you can adjust the sound parameters
electronically (STR-DE915 only). DSP automatically
converts analog audio signals to digital, which lets you
adjust the sound with virtually no degradation in
sound quality.
Once you customize the sound fields, they are stored in
memory unless the receiver is unplugged for about 1
week. To change a customized sound field, make new
adjustments to the sound field.
