The SURROUND menu contains parameters that let you
customize various aspects of the current sound field. The
settings available in this menu are stored individually for
each sound field.

p Effect Level

SURR.EFFECT XXX%

Initial setting : (depends on sound mode)
This parameter lets you adjust the “presence” of the
current digital cinema sound surround effect.

p Wall type

WALL  S____|____H

Initial setting : midpoint
When sound is reflected off soft material, such as a
curtain, the high frequency elements are reduced. A hard
wall is highly reflective and does not significantly effect
the frequency response of the reflected sound. This
parameter lets you control the level of the high
frequencies to alter the sonic character of your listening
environment by simulating a softer (S) or harder (H) wall.
The midpoint designates a neutral wall (made of wood).

p Reverberation

REVERB  S____|____L

Initial setting : midpoint
Before sound reaches our ears, it is reflected
(reverberated) many times between the left and right
walls, ceiling, and floor. In a large room, sound takes more
time to bounce from one surface to another than in a
smaller room. This parameter lets you control the spacing
of the early reflections to simulate a sonically larger (L) or
smaller (S) room. The midpoint (0) designates a standard
room with no adjustment.

p Bass adjustment (Level/Frequency)

BASS +XX.XdB

BASS XXXHz

Unlike the equalizer in the equalizer menu (which allows
you to individually adjust the overall sound quality of
each set of speakers) these parameters allow you to
individually adjust the tonal quality of each sound field.
1 Turn MENU to select the level (dB) or frequency (Hz).
2 Turn +/– to adjust.
Repeat until you achieve the sound you desire.

• The level can be adjusted ±10 dB in 1 dB steps.
• The frequency can be adjusted from 99 Hz to 1 kHz in

21 steps.

p Midrange adjustment (Level/Frequency)

MID +XX.XdB

MID XXXHz

Adjust as described in “Bass adjustment”.
• The level can be adjusted ±10 dB in 1 dB steps.
• The frequency can be adjusted from 198 Hz to 10 kHz in

37 steps.

p Midrange bandwidth

MID [NARROW]

This parameter lets you adjust the width of the midrange
band.
• “WIDE” provides a wide band centered on the selected

frequency, for general adjustments.

• “MIDDLE” provides a normal band.
• “NARROW” provides a narrow band centered on the

selected frequency, for specific adjustments.

p Treble adjustment (Level/Frequency)

TREBLE +XX.XdB

TREBLE XXXHz

Adjust as described in “Bass adjustment”.
• The level can be adjusted ±10 dB in 1 dB steps.
• The frequency can be adjusted from 1.0 kHz to 10 kHz

in 23 steps.
