The parameters on the Surround page are dif-
ficult to describe precisely as they have slightly
different impact depending on the source mate-
rial. Experiment !
Contour Style
Range: 1 to 4
The Contour Style parameter decides which type
of the signal to focus on. E.g. speech, music etc.
Depending on the source material the styles may
emphasize certain sources or timbre. Experi-
ment with the setting for an optimum fit to typi-
cal material.
Ref. Level
Range: -100 to 0 dB
Ref. level should be set at the approximate refer-
ence level of the Input signal. For a typical level,
set Ref. Level at -10 to -18 dB. With a full scale
digital Input, Ref. Level would be set high, typi-
cally 0 to -12 dB. With a quiet or highly dynamic
Input, set it between -15 and -25 dB.
Decorrelate
Range: Dry, Close, Dorsal, Lateral, Diffuse or Wet
Select between different styles of decorrelation
in the surround output channels. These styles
in combination with the Focus and Tone param-
eters positions the source material.
Focus
Where the Decorrelate parameter positions the
source material, the Focus parameter will en-
hance or attenuate the perceived position.
Tone
Once Decorrelation type and Focus is set the
Tone may further enhance or smoothen the sur-
rond information.

Output Delay
0 to 100 ms output delay for each of the six
channels. The Delay may be used to align or
compensate according to the listening position.
