Effect An effect is a configuration that determines how the DC-1
will process
an input signal. The DC-1 can contain as many as 24 effects: Panorama,
Nightclub, Concert Hall, Church, Cathedral, Party, 2-Channel, Music Surround,
Music Logic, Logic 7, TV Matrix, Pro Logic, THX Cinema, Mono Logic, 5.1 2-
Channel, 5.1 Music, 5.1 Logic 7, Dolby Digital, THX 5.1, DTS 2-Channel, DTS
Music, DTS Logic 7, DTS Film and DTS THX 5.1.
Parameter Each Effect has a set of parameters (controls) that characterize it.
Parameter settings can be changed to customize each Effect for your room
and listening taste.
Effect Parameter values are stored/recalled with each Effect. Some examples
are Subwoofer Level and Vocal Enhance
System parameter values are not associated with a particular Effect and their
values do not change when a new Effect is loaded. An example is Speaker
Configuration.
PCM FX The term PCM FX (Pulse Code Modulation Effects) is used to
describe all of the effects which are compatible with two-channel input
signals (analog or digital).
Two-Channel We use the term two-channel rather than "stereo" because a
two-channel input can contain monaural, stereo or matrix-encoded stereo
sound depending on how it was mixed.
