www.insigniaproducts.com
Setting the level calibration (Level Cal menu)
Lets you adjust the level of each speaker with the
built-in test tone so that the volume of each
speaker is the same at the listening position.
Adjusting the audio (Audio Adjust menu)
With the audio adjust settings you can adjust the
sound and listening modes to your taste.
Setting the Multiplex (Input Ch(Mux) submenu) and
Mono (Input Ch(Mono) submenu)
The multiplex setting determines which channel of
a stereo multiplex source is output. Use it to select
audio channels or languages with multiplex
sources, multilingual TV broadcasts, and so on.
The mono setting specifies the channel to be used
for playing any 2-channel digital source, such as
Dolby Digital, or 2- channel analog/PCM source in
the Mono listening mode.
Setting the Dolby options (Panorama, Dimension, and
Center Width submenus)
These settings only apply to 2-channel stereo
sources.
The Panorama setting lets you broaden the width
of the front stereo image when using the Dolby Pro
Logic II Music listening mode.
The Dimension setting lets you move the sound
field forward or backward when using the Dolby
Pro Logic II Music listening mode. Higher settings
move the sound field backward. Lower settings
move it forward. If the stereo image feels too wide,
or there’s too much surround sound, move the
sound field forward to improve the balance.
Conversely, if the stereo image feels like it’s in
mono, or there’s not enough surround sound, move
it backward.
The Center Width setting lets you adjust the width
of the sound from the center speaker when using
the Dolby Pro Logic II Music listening mode.
Normally, if you’re using a center speaker, the center
channel sound is output by only the center speaker.
(If you’re not using a center speaker, the center
channel sound is distributed to the front left and
right speakers to create a phantom center). This
setting controls the front left, right, and center mix,
allowing you to adjust the weight of the center
channel sound.
Setting the DTS options (Center Image submenu)
The DTS Neo:6 Music listening mode lets you create
6-channel surround sound from 2-channel stereo
sources. With this setting, you can specify by how
much the front left and right channel output is
attenuated in order to create the center channel.
A value 0 is only audible from the center speaker. A
value of more than 0 is audible from the left and
right speakers as well.
Adjusting the Audyssey settings (Audyssey, Dynamic
EQ®, Dynamic Volume, and Reference Level submenus)
Audyssey 2EQ is a room equalization solution that
calibrates any audio system so that it can achieve
optimum performance for every listener in a large
listening area. Based on several room
measurements, 2EQ calculates an equalization
solution that corrects for both time and frequency
response problems in the listening area and
performs a fully automated surround system setup.
With Audyssey Dynamic EQ®, you can enjoy great
sound even when listening at low volume levels.
Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of
deteriorating sound quality as volume is decreased
by taking into account human perception and room
acoustics. It does so by selecting the correct
frequency response and surround volume levels
moment-by-moment, so that the content sounds
the way it was created, at any volume level — not
just at reference level.
Note
This setting is made automatically by the Audyssey
2EQ® Room Correction and setup function. See
“Using the Audyssey 2EQ® room correction and
speaker setup” on page 12.
