Using the sound field control The SFC function creates the sensation of a live performance. ! The acoustics of different performance en- vironments are not the same and depend on the extent and contour of space through which sound waves move and on how sounds bounce off the stage, walls, floors and ceilings. At a live performance you hear music in three stages: direct sound, early reflections, and late reflections, or reverberations. Those factors are programed into the SFC circuitry to recreate the acoustics of various performance settings. 1 Press EQ and hold to switch to SFC function. # To switch to equalizer function, press EQ and hold again. 2 Press EQ to select the desired SFC mode. MUSICAL (musical)-DRAMA (drama)- ACTION (action)-JAZZ (jazz)-HALL (hall)- CLUB (club)-OFF (off) Note If the source is a 2-channel LPCM audio or a 2channel Dolby Digital audio and you select SFC effects that are most applicable for 5.1-channel audio (i.e., MUSICAL, DRAMA or ACTION), we recommend turning Dolby Pro Logic II on. On the other hand, when selecting SFC effects that are intended for use with 2-channel audio (i.e., JAZZ, HALL or CLUB), we recommend turning Dolby Pro Logic II off. Using the position selector One way to assure a more natural sound is to accurately position the stereo image, putting you right in the center of the sound field. The position selector function lets you automatically adjust the speaker output levels and inserts a delay time to match the number and position of occupied seats. When used in conjunction with the SFC, the feature will make the sound image more natural and offer a panoramic sound that envelops you. 1 Touch POSITION on the DSP function menu. 2 Touch c/d/a/b to select a listening position.
