DC-1 Digital Controller
FRONT STEERING In the LOGIC 7 Effect, dialog, music, and surround
effects are dynamically directed to the output channels, a process called
steering. The FRONT STEERING control allows you to adjust the amount
of steering in the front channels. When this control is set to FULL, the
steering is identical to Dolby Pro Logic. At 1/2, steering is reduced to
accommodate the wide range of television programming. Selecting OFF
will steer the center signal to both the left and right channels. This parameter
is automatically set to OFF for systems configured without a center speaker.
REAR ROLLOFF sets the cutoff frequency of a low pass filter in the rear-
channel. Frequencies above this setting are attenuated. This control should
be set high enough to give presence and airiness to the rear sound without
placing distracting instrumental overtones or other sounds behind you. In
systems configured without rear speakers, the settings affect the side out-
puts.
DOLBY B NR directs effects for the surround channels according to Dolby
specifications.
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 ASSIGN determines whether the information fed to the side speakers
is from the front left and right or rear outputs. Availability of selections
varies according to your speaker configuration.
SIDE LEVEL controls the volume level of the side speakers. Although the
default value is 0, the correct setting will vary with each recording, the room,
and your personal taste.
SUB BASS BOOST 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.
EFFECT LEVEL adjusts the loudness of all channels except for the center.
