Effect Level (EFFECT)
Effect level is the combination of the level of early reflections
and reverberation. The L indicator on the display signifies
the lowest level and the H indicator signifies the highest
level. The adjustable level is divided into 20 segments. As
you select higher levels, the room becomes more "live." As
you select lower levels, the room becomes more "dead."

Adjusting Parameters
Once you create your own sound field, it is automatically
stored in memory, replacing the pre-programmed sound
field. However, you can always reset to the pre­
programmed sound fields when you want to (page 39).
Adjusting parameters other than the digital
parametric equalizer (STR-GX900ES) or the tone
controls (STR-GX800ES)
The adjustable parameters are different depending on the
