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.
Surround EX The term Surround EX is used to describe a decoder which
reproduces an additional rear channel added during the mixing of the
program. This additional channel provides the opportunity for more de-
tailed imaging behind the listener. Films created using Surround EX tech-
nology will exhibit a Surround EX logo on the packaging and any Surround
EX-capable software and/or source components should be labeled with a
badge, similar to the one provided with DC-1 software V4.
Although the Surround EX decoder may be engaged during the playback
of 5.1 channel material that is not Surround EX encoded, the information
delivered to the rear channels will be randomly unpredictable and may be
pleasing or not, depending on the particular soundtrack and the taste of the
listener.
