Surround parameters

MODE: (DTS NEO:6)

•

Cinema

This mode is optimum for playing movies.

Decoding is performed with emphasis on separation performance to achieve the same

atmosphere with 2-channel sources as with 6.1-channel sources.

This mode is effective for playing sources recorded in conventional surround formats as well, because the in-phase component is assigned

mainly to the center channel (C) and the reversed phase component to the surround (SL, SR and SB channels).

•

Music

This mode is suited mainly for playing music.

The front channel (FL and FR) signals bypass the decoder and are played directly so there is

no loss of sound quality, and the effect of the surround signals output from the center (C) and surround (SL, SR and SB) channels add a

natural sense of expansion to the sound field.

ROOM SIZE:

This sets the size of the sound field.

There are five settings: “small”, “med.s” (medium-small), “medium”, “med.l” (medium-large) and “large”. “small” recreates a small sound

field, “large” a large sound field.

EFFECT LEVEL:

This sets the strength of the surround effect.

The level can be set in 15 steps from 1 to 15. Lower the level if the sound seems distorted.

DELAY TIME:

In the matrix mode only, the delay time can be set within the range of 0 to 300 ms.

TONE CONTROL:

This can be set individually for the separate surround modes other than Direct.

However, the same contents are set for DOLBY/DTS modes.
