In addition to making the sound “live”, these reflections enable us to tell where the player is situated, and the size and shape of the room in which we are sitting.

00_RX-V2400U_EN.book Page 77 Thursday, July 3, 2003 11:20 AM SOUND FIELD PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS SOUND FIELD PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS You can adjust the values of certain digital sound field parameters so the sound fields are recreated accurately in your listening room. Not all of the following parameters are found in every program. ■ DSP LEVEL Function Description: Control range: This parameter adjusts the level of all the DSP effect sounds within a narrow range.
00_RX-V2400U_EN.book Page 78 Thursday, July 3, 2003 11:20 AM SOUND FIELD PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS ■ LIVENESS Function: Description: Control range: This parameter adjusts the reflectivity of the virtual walls in the hall by changing the rate at which the early reflections decay. The early reflections of a sound source decay much faster in a room with acoustically absorbent wall surfaces than in one which has highly reflective surfaces.
00_RX-V2400U_EN.book Page 79 Thursday, July 3, 2003 11:20 AM SOUND FIELD PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS ■ REV.TIME (Reverberation time) Function: This parameter adjusts the amount of time it takes for the dense, subsequent reverberation sound to decay by 60 dB (at 1 kHz). This changes the apparent size of the acoustic environment over an extremely wide range.
00_RX-V2400U_EN.book Page 80 Thursday, July 3, 2003 11:20 AM SOUND FIELD PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS ■ DIALG.LIFT (Dialog lift) Function: Description: Choices: This parameter adjusts the height of the front and center channel sounds by assigning some of the front and center channel elements to the presence speakers. The larger the parameter, the higher the position of the front and center channel sounds. 0/1/2/3/4/5, initial setting is 3.

00_RX-V2400U_EN.book Page 88 Thursday, July 3, 2003 11:20 AM GLOSSARY ■ Adaptive Decorrelation ■ THX Surround EX In a movie theatre, a large number of surround speakers help create an enveloping surround sound experience, but in a home theatre there are usually only two speakers. This can make the surround speakers sound like headphones that lack spaciousness and envelopment. The surround sounds will also collapse into the closest speaker as you move away from the middle seating position.
