Yamaha RX-Z7 User Manual

You can enjoy good quality sound with the initial factory 
settings. Although you do not have to change the initial 
factory settings, you can change some of the parameters to 
better suit the input source or your listening room.

0SUBMENU to turn on the submenu after you select the 
desired program.

■ Basic configuration of sound field 

Each sound field program has some parameters defining 
the characteristics of the program. To customize the 
selected sound field program, adjust “DSP Level” and/or 
“Dialogue Lift” first, and then try other parameters.

Adjusting the effect sound level of the sound 
field programs (DSP Level)
Sound field programs add effect sounds (DSP effect 
sounds) to the original source sound to create sound field 
in the listening room. Use the “DSP Level” parameter to 
adjust the level of the effect sounds.

Adjust “DSP Level” as follows:

Increase the value of “DSP Level” when
• the effect sound of the selected sound field 

program is too weak.

• you cannot recognize any difference between the 

sound field programs.

Decrease the value of “DSP Level” when
• the sound is vague.
• you feel that the additional sound effect is 

excessive.

Control range: –6 dB to +3 dB

Adjusting the vertical dialogue position 
(Dialogue Lift)
Use this feature to adjust the vertical position of the 
dialogues in movies. The ideal position of the dialogues is 
at the center of the video monitor screen.

If the dialogues are heard at the lower position of the video 
monitor screen, increase the value of “Dialogue Lift”.

Choices: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
“0” (initial setting) is the lowest position, and “5” is the 
highest position.

• “Dialogue Lift” is available when “Front Presence” is set to 

“Yes” (page 93) and headphones are not connected.

• You cannot move the dialogue position down from the initial 

dialogue position.
