[. . . ] Treble and Bass settings can be adjusted plus or minus 12dB in 1dB steps. The LFE (Low Frequency Effects) channel contains only low frequency signals. It is the "0. 1" of the 5. 1 or 7. 1 channel digital surround signal. The LFE channel is present only with Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital EX, DTS and DTS-ES sources. The LFE level can be set from ­10dB to 0dB. Dolby/DTS setup: This sub menu permits the following adjustments for the Dolby Pro Logic II Music mode and DTS Music mode. Dolby Pro Logic II Music mode setup: "PLII Panorama" setting (ON/OFF) affects the surround sound field. With PLII panorama "On", the sounds from the front channels are spread to the surround channels. "PLII Center Width" (Min to Max) allows the adjustment of the Center image from all front speakers to varying degrees. "PLII Dimension" (-3 to 3) controls the front-to-surround balance of the sound field. DTS Music mode setup: NEO:6 Center Image (0 to 6) controls the balance between the center and the left and right front channels. Preset setup: The Presets are used to temporarily change the bass and treble controls and the levels of the center, surround and subwoofer speakers. The Preset setup allows one to program five different presets, which can be assigned to any source in the "Source setup menu". This will be useful in the event that you require a different tonal balance depending on the source you are using in your system. For example, you might decide to have a different bass and treble setting for playback from your VCR. For as long as the specific source is selected: The preset Treble and Bass settings replace the settings in the Audio setup The preset Center, Surround, and Subwoofer levels are added to values in the Level setup. 5. 1. 2 · · · · 5. 1. 3 · · 17 5. 2 SPEAKER SETUP: Although this manual is following the setup sub-menus in the order they appear on the Main menu screen, you will need to set up the speakers first in the "Size setup" - Section 5. 2. 4. It will make it easier to properly set the speaker output levels if you have configured the SSP-60 so it "knows" what speakers you have in the system as well as the speaker sizes. You should also consult the manual for the speakers and for the subwoofer and decide what crossover frequency you should set for the subwoofer. Usually the crossover frequency will be around 80 Hz, but if your speakers are small and have no real bass capability you may wish to get more information from the woofer by setting the crossover at 100 or 120Hz. You may also wish to check with your dealer about this section of the setup sequence. Once the speaker sizes are set, use the "Distance setup" (Section 5. 2. 3), or `Dist. autocalibrate' (Section 5. 2. 5) to set the correct distances before moving on to the "Level setup" or "Level autocalibrate" sub-menus. [. . . ] Normal stereo mode for left and right front channels. For multi-channel formats like Dolby Digital and DTS, this mode will down-mix all available channels to stereo and play the result through the front Left and Right speakers. This mode will sample an analog stereo signal and convert it to 96kHz / 24 bit digital format for internal processing. This mode will automatically sense the encoding of the program material and select the appropriate decoding. [. . . ]
