LISTENING MODE MENU OPTION and PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS (continued)
LOW FREQ WIDTH –25 to +25dB
Applies low-frequency spatial correction to the input signal. This
correction is applied to uncorrelated input signals below 60Hz.
Available in PANORAMA mode.
MASTER LEVEL –5 to +5dB
Adjusts the output level of 2-channel LOGIC 7-encoded sources.
Available in 5.1 2-CHANNEL and DTS(-ES) 2-CHAN modes.
MID RT 24ms to 24.3s
Works with the SIZE parameters to adjust the amount of time
required for mid-frequency information to decay below 60dB in
level. The full parameter range might not be available depending
on the SIZE parameter setting. Available in CHURCH, CATHEDRAL
and all LIVE! modes.
CAUTION!
Setting the BASS RT, MID RT or SIZE parameters to a high
value may produce undesirable or damaging audio.
OUTPUT LEVELS
Opens the OUTPUT LEVELS menu, which is used to adjust output
levels for the Main Zone audio output connectors labeled Center,
Subwoofer, Side L/R and Rear L/R. Refer to page 5-32 for more
information. Available in all except 2-CHANNEL, MONO, 5.1 2-
CHANNEL, 5.1 MONO, DTS (ES) 2-CHAN, 2CH BYPASS and LIVE!
modes.
PANORAMA ON, OFF
When set to ON, Dolby PLII MUSIC and Dolby PLIIx MUSIC listening
modes extend the front stereo image to include surround channel
signals, which creates a “wraparound” effect with side wall imaging.
Available in Dolby PLII MUSIC and Dolby PLIIx MUSIC modes.
Note:
The PANORAMA parameter within the Dolby PLII MUSIC and Dolby PLIIx
MUSIC listening modes should not be confused with the separate
PANORAMA listening mode (page 5-13).
PRE-DELAY 1 to 100ms, OFF
Adjusts delay time between the direct sound and the onset of rever-
beration. Higher settings make the simulated space sound larger.
Because some pre-delay is inherent in all source material, you
should begin with the parameter set to the lowest setting, then
make adjustments accordingly. Available in NIGHTCLUB, CONCERT
HALL, CHURCH, CATHEDRAL and all LIVE! modes.
RE-EQUALIZER ON, OFF
Simulates high-frequency rolloffs that occur in movie theaters.
When set to ON, the MC-8 applies a high-frequency filter. When set
to OFF, the MC-8 does not apply a high-frequency filter. It is recom-
mended that you set this parameter to ON for film sources, as many
films are mixed for movie theaters and might sound too bright
when played back in home theaters without re-equalization.
Available in L7 FILM, L7 TV, Dolby PLII + THX, Dolby PLIIx + THX, 5.1
L7 FILM, 5.1 L7 TV, THX ULTRA2, THX SurEX, THX, DTS (ES) L7 FILM,
DTS(-ES) THX ULTRA2 and DTS(-ES) THX modes.
