Sound Adjustment
x Effect level (EFFECT)
Lets you adjust the “presence” of the current
surround effect.
x Wall type (WALL)
Lets you control the level of the high
frequencies to alter the sonic character of your
listening environment by simulating a softer (S)
or harder (H) wall. The midpoint designates a
neutral wall (made of wood).
x Reverberation (REVERB)
Lets you control the spacing of the early
reflections to simulate a sonically longer (L) or
shorter (S) room. The midpoint (0) designates a
standard room with no adjustment.
x Screen depth (S.DEPTH)
Lets you create the same sensation in your
listening room by shifting the sound of the
front speakers “into” the screen. This parameter
can be set to “OFF”, “M” (MID), or “D”
(DEEP). “D” provides the greatest amount of
screen depth.
x Virtual speaker (VIR.SP.)
Lets you turn the virtual speakers created by
the SEMI C.EX A, B, C sound fields off or on.
Adjusting the level
parameters
The SP. LEVEL menu contains parameters that
let you adjust the balance of front speakers and
speaker volume of the subwoofer. The settings
available in this menu are applied to all sound
fields.
1 Press SET UP.
2 Press P or p repeatedly to select “SP.
LEVEL”.
3 Press ENTER (A/V amplifier or remote).
4 Press P or p repeatedly to select the
parameter you want to adjust.
5 Press O or o repeatedly to select the
setting you want.
The setting is stored.
6 Press ENTER (A/V amplifier or remote).
See the table on page 34 for the speaker
level parameters.
x Front balance (FRONT)
Lets you adjust the balance between the front
left and right speakers.
x Subwoofer level (SUB W.)
Lets you adjust the level of the subwoofer.
x LFE (Low Frequency Effect) mix level
(LFE)
Lets you attenuate the level of the LFE (Low
Frequency Effect) channel output from the sub
woofer without effecting the level of the bass
frequencies sent to the subwoofer from the
front channels via the Dolby Digital bass
redirection circuitry.
• “0 dB” outputs the full LFE signal at the mix
level determined by the recording engineer.
• “MUTING” mutes the sound of the LFE
channel from the sub woofer. However, the low
frequency sounds of the front speakers are
output from the subwoofer.
x Dynamic range compressor (D.COMP.)
Lets you compress the dynamic range of the
sound track. This may be useful when you want
to watch movies at low volumes late at night.
• “OFF” reproduces the sound track with no
compression.
• “STD” reproduces the sound track with the
dynamic range intended by the recording
engineer.
• “0.1” – “0.9” allow you to compress the
dynamic range in small steps to achieve the
sound you desire.
• “MAX” provides a dramatic compression of the
dynamic range.
Note
Dynamic range compression is possible with Dolby
Digital sources only.
