Tilt Control - Meridian D6000 User Manual

The balance control of the D6000, however, uses digital signal-processing
to delay and diminish the sound in one speaker, thus effectively shifting
the speaker's image back. Thus balance control compensates, to a
certain extent, for an off-centre listening position. If you sit off-axis, this
control will rotate the image.
Note Because the use of the balance control processes the digital signal,
you may hear a slight clicking as the balance is adjusted.
How to use the balance control
If you are playing a CD, press Display enough times to get the
permanent display:
cd ##
Here ## represents the volume number. (This will help you to understand
the functioning of the balance control better, but it is not essential).
1. Press the w or the e menu key until the balance display shows. The
master display will momentarily show
L. 0
This allows you to ask the D6000 what its balance setting is without
changing it.
Note We call this kind of display a cursor – in this case, the tilt cursor.
D6000 uses several cursors to access functions such as tilt, bass, phase,
track selection and preset selection.
To get rid of a cursor, either
wait a few seconds, or
select another cursor, or
hit another (inactive) key
To change the balance setting:
1. Make sure that you can see the balance cursor display on the master:
L. 0
2. Press the n menu key. The display will change to
L. 1
showing that you have moved the balance one volume number towards
the left. After a few moments the display will revert, but you will now see
that the left speaker has a volume number one greater than the right.
3. Press n again. The display will move to
L. 2
To move the sound towards the right:
1. Use the menu s key instead
The balance can be adjusted between ±30 dBs, incremented in 1 dB
steps.
To restore the central condition, press Clear.
Note This will also reset the loudness, bass and tilt controls.

Tilt control

Tilt controls are combination controls that slope the frequency response of
the system slowly over the frequency range to make the sound brighter or
dimmer. They are less crude than conventional tone controls. The
