Using the sound field control

The SFC function creates the sensation of a live performance.

• The acoustics of different performance environments 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.

Press SFEQ/SFC to select the desired SFC mode.

Press SFEQ/SFC repeatedly to switch between the following 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 2-channel Dolby Digital audio and you select SFC effects that are most applicable for 5.1channel audio (i.e., Musical, Drama or Action), we recommend switching Dolby Pro Logic on. On the other hand, when selecting SFC effects that are intended for use with 2channel audio (i.e., Jazz, Hall or Club), we recommend switching Dolby Pro Logic off.

Using the position selector

One way to assure a more natural sound is to clearly 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 Press AUDIO to select Posi. Press AUDIO until Posi appears in the display.

2 Press 5/∞/2/3 to select a listening posi- tion.

Press one of these, 2/3/5/∞, to select a listening position as listed in the table.

Audio Adjustments

Note

• When you make adjustments for listening position, the speakers are automatically set for appropriate output levels. You can tailor them if you want as discussed under the heading of Adjusting the speaker output levels

using a test tone or Adjusting the speaker output levels.

Using balance adjustment

You can select a fader/balance setting that provides an ideal listening environment in all occupied seats.

1 Press AUDIO to select Fad.

Press AUDIO until Fad appears in the display.

• If the balance setting has been previously

adjusted, Bal will be displayed.

2 Press 5 or ∞ to adjust front/rear speaker balance.

Each press of 5 or ∞ moves the front/rear speaker balance to the front or the rear.

• Fad F25 – Fad R25 is displayed as the

front/rear speaker balance moves from front to rear.

• Fad F/R 0 is the proper setting when only two

speakers are used.

3 Press 2 or 3 to adjust left/right speaker balance.

When you press 2 or 3, Bal L/R 0 is displayed. Each press of 2 or 3 moves the left/right speaker balance to the left or the right.

• Bal L25 – Bal R25 is displayed as the

left/right speaker balance moves from left to right.

Adjusting source levels

SLA (source level adjustment) lets you adjust the volume level of each source to prevent radical changes in volume when switching between sources.

• Settings are based on the FM tuner volume level, which remains unchanged.

1 Compare the FM tuner volume level with the level of the source you want to adjust.

2 Press AUDIO to select SLA. Press AUDIO until SLA appears in the display.

3 Press 5 or ∞ to adjust the source volume.

Each press of 5 or ∞ increases or decreases the source volume.

• SLA +4 – SLA –4 is displayed as the source

volume is increased or decreased.

Notes

• Since the FM tuner volume is the control, it is not possible to apply source level adjustments to the FM tuner.

• The AM tuner volume level can also be adjusted with source level adjustments.

• Video CD and CD are set to the same volume adjustment setting automatically.

• External unit 1 and external unit 2 are set to the same volume adjustment setting automatically.

4 Press BAND/ESC to return to the playback display.

Correcting the subwoofer’s phase

If trying to boost the bass output of the subwoofer doesn’t do much or rather makes you feel that the bass gets more murky, this may indicate that the subwoofer’s output and bass content you hear over other speakers cancel each other out. To remove this problem, try changing the phase setting for the subwoofer.

1 Press AUDIO and hold until SP Set appears in the display.

2 Press 2 or 3 to select the subwoofer.

Press 2 or 3 selects the speaker in the following order: Front speakers—Center speaker—Rear speakers—Subwoofer—S.W (subwoofer setting)
