Each sound field is composed of a tone parameter (bass/treble) and surround sound parameters -- variables of sound that create the sound image. You can customize the sound fields by adjusting some of the sound parameters (tone and/or surround sound parameters) to suit your listening situation. Also, since this receiver uses Digital Signal Processing (DSP), you can adjust the sound parameters electronically. DSP automatically converts analog audio signals to digital, which lets you adjust the sound with virtually no degradation in sound quality. Once you customize the sound fields, they are stored in memory unless the receiver is unplugged for about two weeks. To change a customized sound field, make new adjustments to the sound field.
