You can adjust the values of certain digital sound field parameters so the sound fields are recreated accurately in your listening room. Not all
of the following parameters are found in every program.
EFCT TRIM (Effect Trim)
Function .................... This parameter adjusts the level of all the effect sounds within a narrow range.
Control Range ........... –3 dB - +3 dB
Description ................ Depending on the acoustics of your listening room, you may want to increase or decrease the effect level relative
INIT. DLY (Initial Delay)
Function .................... This parameter changes the apparent distance from the source sound by adjusting the delay between the direct
Control Range ........... 1 - 99 milliseconds
Description ................ The smaller the value, the closer the sound source seems to the listener. The larger the value, the farther the
P. INIT. DLY (Presence Initial Delay)
Function .................... This parameter adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection in the presence sound field.
Control Range ........... 1 - 99 milliseconds
Description ................ The larger the value, the later the first reflection begins.
RC. INIT. DLY (Rear Center Initial Delay)
Function .................... This parameter adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection in the rear center sound field.
Control Range ........... 1 - 49 milliseconds
Description ................ The larger the value, the later the first reflection begins.
S. INIT. DLY (Surround Initial Delay)
Function .................... This parameter adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection on the surround side of the
Control Range ........... 1 - 49 milliseconds
Description ................ The larger the value, the later the first reflection begins. You can only adjust this parameter for the Dolby Digital
