Mute and Solo section
Select Solo / Select Mute button
Click this button to switch between the two
modes (Solo and Mute) for the other buttons in
this section.
Solo/Mute (L / C / R / LS / LFE / RS) buttons
Click buttons to mute or solo individual channels
when upconversion has been activated.
! These buttons are not intended for use during
normal operation – they should only be used
during setup phase when the algorithm’s set-
tings are tuned.
Level section
Left Front / Center / Right Front
(Front Channel Gain parameters)
Use the Left Front, Center and Right Front pa-
rameters to adjust the levels of these channels
when upconversion is active.
After tuning other upconversion parameters, ad-
just these parameters so that loudness before
and after upconversion is roughly the same.
Left Surround / Right Surround
(Surround Channel Gain parameters)
Use the Left Surround and Right Surround pa-
rameters to adjust the levels of these channels
when upconversion is active.
After tuning other upconversion parameters, ad-
just these parameters so that loudness before
and after upconversion is roughly the same.
LFE parameter
Use the LFE parameter to adjust the level of the
LFE channel when upconversion is active.
Expect some consumers to have LFE repro-
duced up to 10 dB louder than the main chan-
nels. A conservative LFE setting is recommend-
ed. Also note that LFE level is disregarded in
BS.1770.
