  • Page 59: Selecting And Editing Program Parameters

    SELECTING AND EDITING PROGRAM PARAMETERS This adjustment can be made only by using the remote control transmitter watching the monitor screen or the display panel. Note It is recommended to watch the monitor screen for making adjustments more easily than to watch the display panel. Set the PARAMETER/SET MENU switch to the PARAMETER position.

  • Page 60: Descriptions Of The Digital Sound Field Parameters

    DESCRIPTIONS OF THE DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PARAMETERS Not all of the following parameters are found in every program. ROOM SIZE How it Affects the Sound: Changes the apparent size of the music venue. The larger the value, the larger the simulated room will sound. What it Does: Adjusts the timing between the early reflections.
  • Page 61 LIVENESS How it Affects the Sound: This parameter changes the apparent reflectivity of the walls in the hall. The early reflections from a sound source will lose intensity (decay) much faster in a room with acoustically absorbent wall surfaces than in one which has mostly reflective surfaces.
  • Page 62 REV. DELAY (Reverberation Delay) This parameter sets the time difference between the beginning of the direct sound and the beginning of the reverberation sound. The larger the value, the later the reverberation sound will begin. A later reverberation sound makes you feel like the space of the acoustic environment has become larger.
