If "No" is selected for the Subwoofer setting in the Speaker Config sub-menu, then this setting will not appear. Re-EQ/Academy Depending on the listening mode, you can either turn Re-EQ on or off, or you can select "Re-EQ, " "Academy, " or "Off. " Re-EQ: Re-EQ (re-equalization) takes the edginess or "brightness" out of your home cinema sound to compensate for the fact that sound mixed for theaters may sound too bright when played back through speakers in the home environment. Academy: Older monaural film mixes relied on highfrequency rolloff in presentation to sound properly balanced, so that excessive hiss from the grain structure of the film would not be heard. The highfrequency loss was typically due to a combination of optical slit loss, electrical filters, loudspeaker response, and screen loss. Some films have been transferred to video without such a high-frequency rolloff, and thus sound overly bright and hissy. The RDC-7 includes this "Academy filter, " which is based on contemporary playback practices for such films over wide-range systems. Off: Select to turn off both the re-equalization and Academy filters. Input Channel This allows you to set which input channel to use for monaural sound. Auto L+R: Select this under normal circumstances for output from both the left and right speakers. Left/Right: You will need to select either left or right when playing a video source that contains bilingual data. In such a case, the left and right channels will contain different language. Select the channel with the language you desire. Output Channel This allows you to set which output channel to use for monaural sound. If "None" is selected for the Center Speaker setting in the Speaker Config sub-menu, then this setting will not appear. L+R: The monaural sound is split between the left and right channels. Center: The monaural sound is output from the front center channel. Digital Upsampling Digital upsampling processes the input digital signal and converts its digital sampling frequency to twice the current frequency for an even further detailed sound reproduction. [. . . ] Off: Outputs the center channel signal at the regular level and frequency characteristics. Front Effect Some live recordings contain acoustic reverberation. When you play these sources, more reverberation will be applied by the DSP, creating too much reverb effects and the sound loses frame or presence. In this case, set this setting to "Off. " No reverberation from the DSP will be applied to the sound output from the three front channels, so the sound source is be played as it is without any further reverberation. [. . . ]
