Customizing the Nº502 Mark Levinson
Compare
The Compare function allows comparison listening between the factory
default setting of the selected Surround mode and the customized version
that you created by modifying the Surround mode parameters.
• Select the Default option to hear the Surround mode in its factory
default condition.
• Select the Custom option to hear the Surround mode in its custom
condition, which includes all current Surround mode parameter
settings.
Keep in mind that these two settings will sound identical when all
Surround Mode menu parameters are set to their factory default settings.
This parameter is available in all Logic 7 modes, as well as Dolby PLIIx
Music, Dolby PLII Music, Downmix, and Mono Logic modes.
Dimension
The Dimension parameter controls the relative balance of the sound field,
which can be useful with certain recordings to achieve more suitable
balance among all speakers. This parameter is available in Dolby PLIIx
Music and Dolby PLII Music modes.
• When set to Front, the sound field is balanced toward the front of the
listening space.
• When set to Neutral, the sound field is balanced at the center of the
listening space.
• When set to Rear, the sound field is balanced toward the rear of the
listening space.
Effect Level
The Effect Level parameter adjusts the amount of effect applied to the
surround mode. This parameter is available in the Mono Logic mode.
Front Steering
The Front Steering parameter adjusts the front steering between the front
left, center, and front right speakers. Set this parameter to Film for film
and broadcast sources, and to Music, Music Surround, or Off for music
sources.
• When set to Film, maximum front steering is applied.
• When set to Music, moderate front steering is applied.
• When set to Music Surround, minimum front steering is applied.
• When set to Off, no front steering is applied.
This parameter is available in Logic 7 TV, Logic 7 Music, and Logic 7 Music
Surround modes.
