Dts Film - Lexicon DC-1 - ADDENDUM Owner's Manual Addendum

DC-1 Digital Controller
The DTS Film effect decodes DTS-encoded soundtracks. It uses five discrete
full-range channels and a sixth dedicated, Low Frequency Effect (LFE)
channel. In this effect, any rear speakers present are connected in parallel
with the side speakers. This is the basic DTS effect. It does not include the
enhancements by Lexicon or LucasFilm which are available with other AC-
3 effects in the DC-1.

DIALOG ENHANCE boosts dialog in the center channel. By targeting
specific frequencies, it can boost only dialog, without raising the entire
center channel level (which would alter the output balance achieved during
calibration).
RE-EQUALIZER equalizes the left, center, and right channel outputs to
match the overall frequency balance of the original recording. Without this
re-equalization, many films and some television programs will sound too
bright.
SIDE LEVEL controls the output level of the side speakers. Use this control
in conjunction with SURROUND LEVEL to achieve the optimum balance
between the side and rear speakers.
SURROUND LEVEL controls the volume level of the side and rear speakers.
Although we have selected a default value, the correct setting will vary with
each recording, the room, and your personal taste.
LFE MIX LEVEL allows separate level attenuation of the LFE channel,
which is ultimately mixed to the subwoofer output. As the bass from as
many as five other channels is added to the LFE, it can significantly raise
subwoofer output levels — and create the risk of damage to a system.
Careful adjustment of this parameter will allow you to achieve proper tonal
balance and reduce the risk of damage.
SUBWOOFER LVL boosts or cuts the subwoofer output level. Although the
normal subwoofer level is set during the calibration procedure, with some
recordings it may be desirable to increase or decrease this deep bass level.
