The screen for the selected surround mode
appears.
• When “Default” is selected and the CURSOR
FF
button is pressed, “CINEMA EQ.” and “D.COMP.”
are automatically turned off, “ROOM SIZE” is set to
“medium”, “EFFECT LEVEL” to “10”, “DELAY
TIME” to “30 ms” and “LFE” to “0 dB”.
• The “ROOM SIZE” expresses the expansion effect
for the different surround modes in terms of the size
of the sound field, not the actual size of the listening
room.
DELAY TIME:
In the matrix mode only, the delay time can be set
within the range of 0 to 300 ms.
SW ATT:
This is the parameter for reducing the level of the
subwoofer channel when playing in the EXT. IN input
mode. Depending on the player you are using, the
subwoofer channel’s playback level may seem too
high. If so, set “SW ATT” to “ON”.
For DENON players, use with the default settings
(“OFF”).
Subwoofer ON/OFF:
The subwoofer output can be controlled directly.
ROOM SIZE:
This sets the size of the sound field.
There are five settings: “small”, “med.s” (medium-
small), “medium”, “med.l” (medium-large) and
“large”. “small” recreates a small sound field,
“large” a large sound field.
EFFECT LEVEL:
This sets the strength of the surround effect.
The level can be set in 15 steps from 1 to 15. Lower
the level if the sound seems distorted.
2 Surround parameters y
EFFECT:
This parameter turns the effect signals with multi
surround mode speaker effects on and off in the
WIDE SCREEN mode. When this parameter is
turned off, the SBL and SBR channel signals are
equivalent to the SL and SR channels, respectively.
LEVEL:
This parameter sets the strength of the effect
signals in the WIDE SCREEN mode. It can be set in
15 steps, from “1” to “15”. Set this to a low level if
the positioning or phase of the surround signals
sounds unnatural.
SB CH OUT:
• ON:
Playback is conducted using the surround back
speaker.
• OFF:
Playback is conducted without using the surround
back speaker.
NOTE:
This operation can be performed directly pressing
the SURROUND BACK button on the main unit’s panel.
