ADVANCED SETUP continued
LFE level
affects the level of the Low Frequency
Effects Channel signal, the “.1” channel of a 5.1
channel, 6.1 channel, or 7.1 channel digital sur-
round system. The LFE level adjustment is not the
same as setting the subwoofer level, because the
subwoofer output may, depending on your speaker
setup, include bass from the main and surround
channels as well as the LFE information.
The maximum LFE level is 0 dB, and in most cases
it can be left at 0 dB. You can reduce the LFE level
to -10 dB, but this will only be desirable if movie low
frequency special effects are too powerful for your
subwoofer or sound too heavy.
Note:
The factory default level = 0dB.
Reverb
sets the level of reverberation in the Club and Concert modes. It is adjustable in five
steps (Dry, 1,2,3, Wet), with Dry being the minimum. The Club and Concert modes make
recordings sound as if they were made in medium sized or large halls; reverb changes the
apparent acoustics of those halls. A touch of reverb may also help create a more seamless
transition between the left, center, and right speakers, especially when the center-channel
speaker is positioned higher or lower than the left and right speakers.
Note:
Some of your digital recordings, such as compressed MP3 or WAV files, will sound more
realistic and natural with a slight addition of the 7100’s unique reverb.
Note:
The factory default setting = Dry.
Dolby/DTS Setup
PL II Panorama
sends some of the front-channel sound to the surround speakers, for a wrap-
around effect. It can be switched on or off. PLII Music settings also apply to PLIIx Music if you
have one or two back channel speakers selected.
Note:
The factory default setting = Off.

The adjustments in this submenu
pertain to with two-channel program
material when the 7100 is set to either
Dolby PLII Music, PLIIx Music or DTS
Neo:6 Music. PLII does not function
with discrete 5.1 channel source mate-
rial because the material is already 5.1.
