Customizing the Sound Fields
Each sound field is composed of equalizer parameters
(bass/treble) ahd surround sound parameters —
variables of sound that create the sound image. You
can customize the sound fields by adjusting some of
the sound parameters (equalizer and/or surround
sound parameters) to suit your listening situation.
Once you customize the sound fields, they are stored in
memory unless the processor is unplugged for about 1
week. To change a customized sound field, make new
adjustments to the respective sound field.
