Setting the Surround mode parameters Effect Level, Reverb Level and Reverb Time By adjusting the level of the initial reflections and reverberation in sound from a recording, it is possible to create the illusion of actually being in a stadium without leaving your living room. For each parameter, you can select from seven settings between 0.4 and 1.6. 11.01,TNE-TriCO * Effect Level * A II II II II 0. 8 Smaller 01 Larger 0=1 Effect level (0) Adjusts the initial reflection level. Increasing the setting increases the effect sound level. Reverb level (0) Adjusts the level of only the reverb (not the initial reflections). Increasing the setting makes the "mountain" higher and increases the reverb sound level. Reverb Time (©) Adjusts the time taken for the reverberation to decay completely. Increasing the setting widens the base of the "mountain" and lengthens the reverb time. Midnight Theater If you must play a movie at a low sound volume at night, set this parameter to "ON" to make the dynamic range of the reproduced sound narrower for easy-to-hear sound. This parameter will have no effect on the sound if the Dolby AC3 software are not installed with this function.
