Rooms with few sound-absorbing furnishings, especially those with bare floors and walls, may sound overly shrill or "bright." Decreasing the treble sound can be useful. Conversely, rooms with a lot of sound-absorbing furnishings, such as upholstered furniture, wall-to-wall carpet, or heavy drapes, can sound "dull" and may benefit by increasing the treble sound. Different source materials, such as DVDs, CDs or radio stations, may also vary in the amount of treble they have. You can decrease the treble sound by lowering this setting to a negative value from -1 to -14. To increase the treble, raise this setting to a positive value from +1 to +14. Decreases (-) or increases (+) the bass sound. Placement of the Acoustimass® module affects the amount of bass you hear. Placing the module closer to the corner of the room will increase the bass. Moving the module away from the corner will decrease the bass. Different source materials, such as DVDs, CDs or radio stations, may also vary in the amount of bass they have. You can decrease the bass sound by lowering this setting to a negative value from -1 to -14. To increase the bass, raise this setting to a positive value from +1 to +14. Note: Completion of the ADAPTiQ audio calibration compensates for your room acoustics. Subsequently, the treble and bass controls operate only over the range from -9 to +6 and should only be needed for occasional adjustments due to source material variations. 32
