Changing the listening position
A conventional stereo system provides a single balance control,
which changes the relative loudness of the two loudspeakers.
The 541 Surround Controller provides a more sophisticated
adjustment which correspond to changing the effective listening
position relative to the loudspeakers.
Two separate controls are provided, one to move the listening
position to the left or right, and one to move it to the front or rear.
To move the listening position to the
left or right
● Press
> or < until the display
shows:
Balance <0>
● Press A or V to move the listening position.
The display shows the direction and position of the listening
position.
For example:
Balance <1
The arrow indicates the direction, and the number indicates the
position where 0 is central, 8 is line with corresponding main
speaker, and 10 is fully to one side.
To move the listening position to the
front or rear
● Press > or < until the display shows:
Rear +0
● Use A and V to change the relative level of the surround
speakers, in dB.
You can change the relative loudness of the rear loudspeakers
from -30dB (about one-eighth of the loudness) to +10 dB (about
double the loudness).
For example, to double the loudness of the rear loudspeakers:
● Adjust their level until the display
shows:
Rear +10
