Audio Adjustment
ACTIONCH
CH VOL VOL
BBE VIVAThis maintains a constant level of sound that is faithful to the original, producing
Hi-Fi 3D sound that cannot be obtained with other types of 3D Surround.
BBEUse special signal processing to accurately reproduce the "attack" of each
sound, in order to make it immediate and superbly faithful to the original,
while retaining its natural feel. The distinguishing feature of BBE VIVA is its maintenance of accurate audio imagery. Ordinary 3D surround systems force the
sound out to the left and right, affecting the center channel. As a result it may become hard to hear people's voices, or the
center audio may completely disappear. BBE VIVA reproduces vocals in music and voices in movies accurately and distinctly.
