Lexicon

SURROUND DLY
0ms to 15ms
Increases the perceived depth of the listening space by delaying
the arrival time of signals from the side and rear speakers. It is
recommended that you increase the setting when a greater sense
of depth is desired in the listening space.
SURROUND EX
AUTO, ON, OFF
Controls the THX Surround EX decoding feature, which can be
used to extract a rear channel from 5.1-channel Dolby Digital
sources.
• When set to ON, THX Surround EX decoding is engaged for all
5.1-channel Dolby Digital sources.
• When set to OFF, THX Surround EX decoding is not engaged
for all 5.1-channel Dolby Digital sources.
• When set to AUTO, THX Surround EX decoding is engaged
when a flagged 5.1-channel Dolby Digital source with THX
Surround EX encoding is detected. THX Surround EX decoding
is not engaged when a non-flagged 5.1-channel Dolby Digital
source with or without THX Surround EX encoding is detected.
• The RV-8 cannot automatically detect THX Surround EX encod-
ing in non-flagged 5.1-channel Dolby Digital sources. A non-
flagged source does not include information in the input signal
that identifies THX Surround EX encoding.
The THX SurEX listening mode is available when THX Surround EX
decoding is engaged. The THX and THX ULTRA2 listening modes
are available when THX Surround EX decoding is not engaged.
THX Surround EX decoding cannot be engaged unless both side
and rear speakers are present. See page 6-18 for more information.
SPEECH DETECT
ON, OFF
Distinguishes monaural speech from other input sources. When set
to ON, effects are lowered to minimize interference and unnatural
echo in monaural speech. When stereo input sources are present,
the front left and right channels are independently used as inputs
for ambience synthesis. When strong monaural speech is present in
the input source, the monaural component of the ambience effect
is reduced and the stereo component of the effect is increased.
When set to OFF, the amount of ambience synthesis is dynamic-
ally controlled.
SUB LEVEL
OFF, -30 to +12dB
Controls the output level of the Main Zone audio output
connector labeled Sub. The SUB LEVEL parameter appears on
listening mode menus when the listening mode does not accom-
modate multichannel output signals.
SUB
OFF, -30dB to +12dB
Controls the output level of the Main Zone audio output
connector labeled Sub.
SURR ROLLOFF
500Hz to 20.0kHz, OFF
Applies high-frequency attenuation control to the Main Zone audio
output connectors labeled Side L/R and Rear L/R. This filter is only
applied to output signals generated by the RV-8.
