Setup: Sound: Sound Modes: PRESETNAME: Advanced Settings: Spatial Controls: Surround
The Surround setting allows you to
determine the relative levels of the
sound stage (in the front) and the
surround information from the
TrueImage processor.
Note that changes in the Surround
setting will have no effect on the signal
when the Processing is set to 1:1 or
Downmix.
Setup: Sound: Sound Modes: PRESETNAME: Advanced Settings: Spatial Controls: Height
This setting determines the level of the
signals sent to all loudspeakers in your
configuration with a ‘height’ Speaker
Role. It will have no effect on other
loudspeakers in your system.
If the setting is set to minimum, then no
signal will be sent to the ‘height’
loudspeakers.
Note that, if the LFE Input to Ceiling
setting is ON, then the Height setting
will determine the level of the ceiling
loudspeaker. In this case, to ensure that
the ceiling loudspeaker is calibrated to
the correct level, the Height setting
should be set to maximum.
See also ‘LFE Input to Ceiling‘.
Setup: Sound: Sound Modes: PRESETNAME: Advanced Settings: Spatial Controls: Stage Width
The Stage Width setting can be used to
determine the width of the front images
in the sound stage. At a minimum
setting, the images will collapse to the
centre of the frontal image. At a
maximum setting, images will be pushed
to the sides of the front sound stage.
This allows you to control the perceived
width of the band or music ensemble
without affecting the information in the
surround and back loudspeakers.
If you have three front loudspeakers
(Left Front, Right Front and Centre
Front), the setting of the Stage Width
can be customised according to your
typical listening position. If you normally
sit in the ‘sweet spot’, at roughly the
same distance from all three
loudspeakers, then you should increase
the Stage Width setting somewhat.
since it is unnecessary to use the centre
front loudspeaker to help to pull
phantom images towards the centre of
the sound stage. The further to either
side of the sweet spot that you are
seated, the more reducing the Stage
Width value will improve the centre
image location. Note that changes in the Stage Width
setting will have no effect on the signal
when the Processing is set to 1:1 or
Downmix.
exceptions where upmixing may be
applied to the signal. The first of these
is when you have a 2.0-channel
loudspeaker configuration and a
1-channel monophonic input. In this
case, the centre front signal will be
distributed to the Left Front and Right
Front loudspeakers. The second case is
when you have a 6.1 input and a 7.1
loudspeaker configuration. In this case,
the Centre Back signal will be
distributed to the Left Back and Right
Back loudspeakers.
Options: 1:1 / Downmix / TrueImage.
