Stereo/Surround
(Stereo/Surround menu)
Use this feature to select the sound field programs (see page 54), the
surround decode mode, the THX Surround mode, or the
"STRAIGHT" mode (see page 60), and adjust the parameters of
each program.
■ Basic configuration of sound field programs
Each sound field program has some parameters defining the
characteristics of the program. To customize the selected sound
field program, adjust "DSP Level" and/or "Dialogue Lift" first, and
then try other parameters.
Adjusting the effect sound level of the sound field
programs (DSP Level)
Sound field programs add effect sounds (DSP effect sounds) to the
original source sound to create sound field in the listening room.
Use the "DSP Level" parameter to adjust the level of the effect
sounds.
The DSP effect
sound level is low
Adjust "DSP Level" as follows:
Increase the value of "DSP Level" when
• the effect sound of the selected sound field program is too
weak.
• you cannot recognize any difference between the sound field
programs.
Decrease the value of "DSP Level" when
• the sound is vague.
• you feel that the additional sound effect is excessive.
Control range: –6 dB to +3 dB
The DSP effect sound
level is high
Adjusting the vertical dialogue position
(Dialogue Lift)
Use this feature to adjust the vertical position of the dialogues in
movies. The ideal position of the dialogues is at the center of the
video monitor screen.
If the dialogues are heard at the lower position of the video monitor
screen, increase the value of "Dialogue Lift".
Move up to the ideal dialogue position
Choices: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
"0" (initial setting) is the lowest position, and "5" is the highest
position.
Notes
• "Dialogue Lift" is available when "Front Presence" is set to "Yes" (see page 84) and
headphones are not connected.
