How Do I Adjust the Surround Modes?

Applying Digital Signal Processor (DSP) Effects

The DSP mode creates the reverberation devices (elements of sound ech-
oed in various spaces) which determine the feeling of presence. Since
DSP uses digital processing, it can produce these effects without spoiling
the sound quality of the original music or video source.
The DSP mode lets you add the atmosphere of an Arena, Jazz club, Ca-
thedral, Concert hall, Stadium, or Theater from PCM or analog input
source. These modes are particularly effective when used with stereo pro-
gram sources like CD, television, and FM radio. You might enjoy trying
the Stadium (1, 2), Arena or Concert hall mode the next time you watch
a sporting event or concert.
You can adjust the following elements to create a customized environment:
• The Wall type parameter lets you adjust the brightness of the sonic
environment according to your preference.
• The Room size parameter lets you adjust the size of the sonic envi-
ronment according to your preference.
• The Effect level lets you adjust the amount of DSP "presence" in the
sonic environment according to your preference.
The DSP effect cannot be applied when the input is a 96k fs PCM signal.
