Customizing Surround Modes
Custom Surround modes may be defined in the Customize Modes menu. Each Surround mode has
attributes which may be changed by the user, such as low- and high-frequency response, and the
relative volume level of the center channel, subwoofer, and surround channels with respect to the
“main,” or front left and right, channels.
This menu allows you to quickly and easily modify any of the 5.0’s Surround modes for optimum
performance in your listening environment.
Depending on the program source which was last selected, different choices will be presented when
you are in the Customize Surround Mode menu. Choices appropriate for analog sources will
appear if the last source watched or listened to was analog; choices more suitable for digital sources
will appear if the last chosen source was digital and a digital Surround mode (e.g., Dolby Digital or
DTS) was used.
The same general format and procedure is followed in both cases, however:
After choosing which button on the remote control you wish to have select a customized Surround
mode, select the mode to associate with that button and then the particular attribute(s) of that mode
to be changed. The last step is to select the value for that attribute(s) from among the choices offered.
Because there are seven buttons and many Surround modes, a half-dozen or so attributes associated
with each mode, and several choices for each attribute to be set to, there is a very large number of
ways you can customize the 5.0!
