• Dolby Digital Compression – reduces the wide volume level
changes and increases the dialogue intelligibility at lower listening
levels for Dolby Digital input sources.
• Delete Audio Profile – deletes Audio Profiles that are no longer
needed. Refer to the “Add New, Name, & Delete” section found earlier
in this chapter for more details.
Surround Mode
Selection
The Mono Signal, 2-Channel Signal, and Multi-channel Signal menu
options all relate to the selection of the default surround modes. The
default surround mode is assigned to any incoming input source that
matches the requirements for the surround mode defined.
• Select the Mono Signal surround mode that you want assigned to any
incoming mono input sources for the active Audio Profile.
• Select the 2-Channel Signal surround mode that you want assigned to
any incoming 2-channel input sources for the active Audio Profile.
• Select the Multi-Channel Signal surround mode that you want
assigned to any incoming multi-channel input sources for the active
Audio Profile.
The surround mode can always be changed from the Profile setting by
using the Surround Mode Adjust button on the front panel or the
Surround button on the remote control. However, these changes are
temporary. If the Activity is changed or the incoming source is
interrupted, the surround mode reverts to the saved Audio Profile setting.
Some of the surround modes are dynamic and depend upon the Speaker
Setup and the incoming input source. Not all surround modes are
available in all situations. Refer to the “Using Surround Modes” section
found later in this chapter for more details.
LFE Mix
The LFE Mix parameter controls the output level of the LFE (Low
Frequency Effects) information – the .1-channel information – that is sent
to the audio output(s) labeled Subwoofer. Low frequencies from up to
seven other channels may be combined with the LFE information to
create the subwoofer output signal, which significantly increases
subwoofer output levels.
Careful adjustment of this parameter provides proper tonal balance and
reduces the risk of subwoofer overload. When the speaker setup does not
include a subwoofer, the LFE information is mixed into the speakers that
are set to Full or that have the lowest crossover points.
Selecting the LFE Mix parameter opens an adjustment bar with an
adjustment range of –10 to 0dB in 1dB increments.
L7 Auto Azimuth
The L7 (Logic 7) Auto Azimuth parameter maximizes steering accuracy.
When set to On, the Nº502 continually monitors the 2-channel input
signal and automatically adjusts the relative level and time offset of the
input channels to ensure that signals are sent to the appropriate channels
