Changing the surround mode parameters

Each surround mode is made up of a number of parameters. These parameters can be changed to optimize the reproduced surround sound according to your room size,
listening environment, playback source type, taste, etc. Once parameters are set, they will be recalled automatically every time the same surround mode is selected.
The parameters available in each surround mode vary depending on the surround mode.
Note:
In the STEREO mode, you cannot perform parameter setting.
