DSP5000C User Guide
In Normal operation, the settings you have made will be retained and
cannot be changed without going back to Setup.
Boundary controls
The frequency balance of a loudspeaker is changed, particularly in the
low-frequency regions, according to its proximity to walls or boundaries.
The DSP5000C is designed as a stand mounting system, so the floor
boundary is not fixed. It may also be used pulled out from the wall on
stands or shelf mounted.
DSP5000C has adequate DSP power to correct for the effects of ‘wall-
mounting’, different heights above the floor and other boundaries like a
nearby TV. Of course, no signal-processing will remove the more rapid
echo from a nearby boundary, and such reflections will to some extent
disturb the depth of the stereo image.
In Setup, new menu entries appear, which allow a listening choice
between boundary-position settings and these can be made
independently for a left–right pair (or left + right + surrounds) and for a
centre.
Using the system boundary control for a left-right pair
This menu will appear on any master DSP5000C which is in Setup – even
if it is a centre channel and even if there is no left or right DSP speaker.
Note When DSP5000C is a master this menu operates the boundary
settings for any DSP5000 or DSP5000C in the system which is configured
to be left or right. D6000 ignores this menu.
To change the system boundary setting:
1. Press the
w
or
e
menu key until the system boundary display shows.
The master display will momentarily show
FrEE
This allows you to ask the DSP5000C what the system boundary setting
is without changing it.
To change the setting:
1. Make sure that you can see the system boundary cursor display on the
master:
FrEE
2. Press either the
n
or
s
menu key. The display will change to
boun.
and the sound will change in balance. This setting may be better for wall
or shelf positions.
3. Press either the
n
or
s
menu key. The display will change to
Corn.
and the sound will change in balance. This setting may be better for
corner or under-TV positions
You are also offered two choices for use with associated subwoofers:
Sub.1
Sub.2
The graphs in Appendix 1 show the effect of these controls.
