■ Basic configuration of sound field
programs
Each sound field program has some parameters defining
the characteristics of the program. To customize the
selected sound field program, adjust "DSP Level" and/or
"Dialogue Lift" first, and then try other parameters.
Adjusting the effect sound level of the sound
field programs (DSP Level)
Sound field programs add effect sounds (DSP effect
sounds) to the original source sound to create sound field
in the listening room. Use the "DSP Level" parameter to
adjust the level of the effect sounds.
The DSP effect
sound level is low
Adjust "DSP Level" as follows:
Increase the value of "DSP Level" when
• the effect sound of the selected sound field
program is too weak.
• you cannot recognize any difference between the
sound field programs.
Decrease the value of "DSP Level" when
• the sound is vague.
• you feel that the additional sound effect is
excessive.
Control range: –6 dB to +3 dB
Adjusting the vertical dialogue position
(Dialogue Lift)
Use this feature to adjust the vertical position of the
dialogues in movies. The ideal position of the dialogues is
at the center of the video monitor screen.
