Simulated Surround & Dynamic Range Settings - Ada Suite 7.1 HD Installation Manual

Simulated Surround & Dynamic Range Settings
Stereo & Mono Enhance Settings
The Suite 7.1 HD features two ADA modes that
are designed to enhance your experience when
viewing stereo or mono source material such as
older films, TV shows, or other programming that
is neither Dolby Pro Logic or 5.1 encoded.
Stereo Enhance is designed to provide spatial
separation using the entire speaker array. This
mode will work well for both strong and weak
stereo signals.
Mono Enhance is similar but works with mono
source material creating an enveloping surround
sound experience.
Uniquely, the Suite 7.1 HD permits you to custom-
ize these simulated surround sound modes to
the room environment by setting an attenuation
level (level of audio to the surrounds) and delay
level independently for each of these two modes.
Changes are made in real time so that as you
make adjustments to these setting, you can hear
the changes. To setup these modes, play the
appropriate type of source material and adjust
according to personal preference.
In the PC program these changes are made under
the Modes tab under Enhancements.
From the Suite 7.1 HD's front panel, while in
setup mode, navigate to the SETUP page with the
LABELS/AV option in the upper left hand corner.
Then navigate the cursor using the Mode knob so
that the E in EH is flashing and press the Mode
knob. Use the Mode knob to select the feature
you wish to adjust and then use the Input knob
to adjust its setting.
Dynamic Range Settings
Dynamic Range is normally set to Max in typical
ADA home theater systems as this setting will
provide the vibrant experience. There are two
other settings available that can only be set via
the PC program. These minimize the range of
the audio experience such that there is less of a
volume difference between loud sounds and softer
sounds. In theaters where the whispers are too
soft or the explosions too loud, you can elect to
try either Dynamic Range Min or Mid.
