DTS Effects and Parameters
RE-EQUALIZER equalizes the left, center, and right channel outputs to
match the overall frequency balance of the original recording. Without this
re-equalization, many films and some television programs will sound too
bright.
REAR DELAY OFFSET is an additional delay added to the rear channels
when listening to LOGIC 7 and MUSIC SURROUND. This delay increases
the apparent size of the listening space by increasing the rear delay time.
Feel free to experiment to find the setting that works best.SUBWOOFER
LVL boosts or cuts the subwoofer output level. Although the normal
subwoofer level is set during the calibration procedure, with some record-
ings it may be desirable to increase or decrease this deep bass level.
REAR LEVEL controls the volume level of the rear speakers. Although we
have selected a default value, the correct setting will vary with each
recording, the room, and your personal taste.
SIDE LEVEL controls the volume level of the side speakers. Although we
have selected a default value, the correct setting will vary with each
recording, the room, and your personal taste.
SUBWOOFER LVL boosts or cuts the subwoofer output level. Although the
normal subwoofer level is set during the calibration procedure, with some
recordings it may be desirable to increase or decrease this deep bass level.
SURROUND EX (available as of software version 4) extracts and repro-
duces the additional rear channel mixed into SURROUND EX encoded
soundtracks. This parameter is automatically set to ON when both SIDE
and REAR speakers are selected in the SPEAKER CONFIGURATION
menu, and will not operate unless SIDE and REAR speakers are selected.
SURROUND EX decoding can be engaged during playback of non-SUR-
ROUND EX encoded 5.1 material, however, the information delivered to
the rear channels may not be pleasing.
SURROUND MIX allows independent adjustment of the level of the sur-
round channels. Many multichannel-encoded soundtracks sound better
when down-mixed to two channels with the surround level increased by
approximately 2-3dB.
VOCAL ENHANCE boosts dialog in the center channel. By targeting
specific frequencies, it can boost only dialog, without raising the entire
center channel level (which would alter the output balance achieved during
calibration).
