By adjusting the SURROUND menu and
LEVEL menu, you can customize the sound
fields to suit your particular listening situation.

The setup items you can adjust in each menu
vary depending on the sound field. Certain
setup parameters may be dimmed in the
display. This means that the selected parameter
is either unavailable or fixed and unchangeable.

You can customize the surround effects of the
selected sound field. The settings are stored
individually for each sound field.

The SURROUND button lights up and
“<<<SURROUND>>>” appears in the
display.

For details, see “SURROUND menu
parameters” below.

sound field.
You can adjust from –10 dB to +10 dB in 0.5 dB
steps.

x TREBLE GAIN XXX.X dB
(Treble gain level of the equalizer)

Initial setting: 0 dB
Unlike the equalizer in the EQ menu (which lets you

steps.

Use the CUSTOMIZE menu and set “MENU
EXPAND” to “ON” to enable advanced
adjustments.
