setting.

decoding if Dolby surround encoded flag is ON
or if Pro Logic decoding produces a better
sound field, select “AUTO”.
• To set the receiver to perform Pro Logic
decoding on rear signals, regardless of the
Dolby surround encoded flag, select “ON”.
• To set the receiver not to perform Pro Logic
decoding, select “OFF”.
Note
Pro Logic decoding does not function for MPEG
format signals.
Effect level (EFFECT)
Lets you adjust the “presence” of the current
surround effect.
Wall type (WALL)
Lets you control the level of the high
frequencies to alter the sonic character of your
listening environment by simulating a softer (S)
or harder (H) wall. The midpoint designates a
neutral wall (made of wood).
Reverberation (REVERB)
Lets you control the spacing of the early
reflections to simulate a sonically longer (L) or
shorter (S) room. The midpoint designates a
standard room with no adjustment.
Front reverberation (FRONT
REVERB)
This parameter can be used when “DIGITAL
CONCERT HALL A, B” is selected. This
parameter lets you adjust the amount of
reverberations to add to the front signals
according to the original reverberations in the
source.
• To increase front reverberations, select “WET”.
• To decrease front reverberations, select “DRY”.
Screen depth (SCREEN DEPTH)
In a movie theater, sound seems to come from
inside the image reflected on the movie screen.
This parameter lets you create the same
sensation in your listening room by shifting the
sound of the front speakers “into” the screen.
“DEEP” provides the greatest amount of screen
depth.
Virtual speakers (VIR. SPEAKERS)
Allows you turn the virtual speakers created by
“CINEMA STUDIO EX A, B, C” and “SEMI
CINEMA STUDIO EX A, B, C” off or on.
