Customising the digital surround processor

Note that this adjustment is not available for the Mono or

Academy presets.

To change the relative level of the rear

or side loudspeakers

● Press > or < until the display shows the speaker(s) you want

to adjust.

For example:

Rear +0

● Press A or V to change the relative level of the speakers, in

dB.

You can change the relative loudness of the rear loudspeakers

from -30dB (about one-eighth of the loudness) to +10dB (about

double the loudness).

For example, to double the loudness of the loudspeakers:

● Adjust their level until

the display shows:

Rear +10

Note that this adjustment is not available for the Direct, Stereo,

Mono, or Academy presets.

A conventional stereo system provides a single balance control,

which changes the relative loudness of the two speakers. The

565 Digital Surround Processor provides a more sophisticated

adjustment which corresponds to moving the listening position

to the left or right.

You can also change the level of the centre, side, or rear

loudspeakers relative to the main speakers.

To move the listening position to the

left or right

● Press > or < until the display shows

the current balance; for example:

Balance <0>

● Press A or V to move the listening position.

The display shows the direction and position of the listening

position.

For example:

Balance <8

The arrow indicates the direction, and the number indicates the

position where 0 is central, 8 is line with corresponding main

speaker, and 10 is fully to one side.
