© You cannot adjust the surround speaker level for LS and RS
channels separately. To do that, see "To adjust the speaker
level without the test signal".

effects), which reproduces sounds such as explosions and
rumbles in movie soundtracks with astonishing realism.

control) until "LFE" is displayed.

Adjustment of the delay time setting in Dolby Digital affects

delay time in Dolby Digital of 0 ms, 5 ms, 10 ms and 15 ms,
corresponds to 15 ms, 20 ms, 25 ms and 30 ms in Dolby
