x WALL XXX (Wall type)

When sound is reflected off soft material, such as a
curtain, the high frequency elements are reduced. A
hard wall is highly reflective and does not
significantly effect the frequency response of the
reflected sound.
"WALL" lets you control the level of the high
frequencies to alter the sonic character of your
listening environment by simulating a softer (S) or
harder (H) wall. You can adjust from S to H in 17
steps. MID (0) setting designates a neutral wall made
of wood.
x REVB. XXX (Reverberation)
Initial setting: MID (0)
Before sound reaches our ears, it is reflected
(reverberated) many times between he left and right
walls, ceiling, and floor. In a large room, sound takes
more time to bounce from one surface to another than
in a smaller room.
"REVERB" lets you control the spacing of the early
reflections to simulate a sonically longer (L) or
shorter (S) room. You can adjust from S to L in 17
steps. MID (0) designates a standard room with no
adjustment.

Lets you create the sensation that the sound of the
front speakers comes from inside the screen in your
