Customizing Sound Fields <SURROUND>
I'lio SURROUND nu'mi amt.iins p.iMmotors that lot vini
oiistomi/o \ ai ioiis aspects of tlio ciinont sound field. The
settings a\ ailahle in tliis menu are stored indi\ iduallv for
eacli sound field.
■ Effect Level
SURR.EFFECT XXX°c
Inifial seffing : (depends on sound mode)
This parameter lets \ ou adjust the "presence" of the
current digital cinema sound surround effect.
■ Wall type
WALL S I H
Initial setting : midpoint
When sound is reflected off soft material, such as a
curtain, the high frequency elements are reduced. A hard
wall is highly reflective and does not significantly effect
the frequency response of the reflected sound. This
parameter 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).
■ Reverberation
REVERB S_ J_
Initial setting: midpoint
Before sound reaches our ears, it is reflected
(reverberated) many times between the left and right
walls, ceiling, and floor. In a large room, sound takes more
time to bounce from one surface to another than in a
smaller room. This parameter lets you control the spacing
of the early reflections to simulate a sonically larger (L) or
smaller (S) room. The midpoint (0) designates a standard
room with no adjustment.
Bass adjustment (Level/Frequency)
BASS +XX.XdB
BASS XXXHz
Unlike the equalizer in the equalizer menu (which allows
vou to individually adjust the overall sound qualitv of
each set of speakers) these parameters allow vou to
individuallv adjust the tonal quality of each sound field.
© Turn MENU to select the level (dB) or frequency (Hz).
@ Turn +/- to adjust.
Repeat until you achieve the sound vou desire.

• The level can be adjusted ±10 dB in 1 dB steps.
• The frequency can be adjusted from 99 Hz to 1 kHz in
21 steps.
■ Midrange adjustment (Level/Frequency)

MID XXXHz
Adjust as described in "Bass adjustment".
• The level can be adjusted ±10 dB in 1 dB steps.
• The frequency can be adjusted from 198 Hz to 10 kHz in
37 steps.
■ Midrange bandwidth
MID (NARROW]
This parameter lets you adjust the width of the midrange
band.
• "WIDE" provides a wide band centered on the selected
frequency, for general adjustments.
• "MIDDLE" provides a normal band.
• "NARROW" provides a narrow band centered on the
selected frequency, for specific adjustments.
■ Treble adjustment (Level/Frequency)
TREBLE ±XX.XdB
TREBLE XXXHz
Adjust as described in "Bass adjustment".
• The level can be adjusted ±10 dB in 1 dB steps.
• The frequency can be adjusted from 1.0 kHz to 10 kHz
in 23 steps.
