Venue Selection and Creation
The 7.0 is factory presets include four “venues”, as well as the ability to create a custom venue mode. The 7.0’s
venues are created through the use of digital signal processing in the back channels that alters the characteristics of a
sound to match the “feel” of a certain kind of room. Venues may also be used or created to deliver unique sound
characteristics. They may resemble an actual acoustic space, or be as artificial as you desire.
The factory preset venues are:
Night Club: This setting gives the feeling of being in an small, “bright” room with moderate reverberation.
Cinema: This setting gives the feeling of being in a large, acoustically “dead” room with minimal reverberation.
Concert Hall: This setting gives the feeling of being in a large room with moderate reverberation.
Stadium: This setting gives the feeling of being in large space with very live reverberation.
A venue setting may be used at any time when the 7.0 is in operation by pressing “venue” on the remote control. That
will put the setting into effect for one listening session only. To permanently attach a venue setting to a mode, it is
necessary to select the venue and create a new custom mode.
To make one of the factory preset venues part of a custom mode, start at the “Custom Mode - Surround Mode Edit”
menu. Press “Г until the on screen Ö pointer is on the “venue’ line. (figure #xx). Press “Select” to move to the next
menu.
At the “Venue” menu, use the “Г or“Ï“ buttons until the on screen Ö pointer is next to the desired venue selection.
