30. wledge 90 means that most of the room s acoustical properties have been learned The more room measurements you add the higher the RoomKnowledge will become The more that the acoustical properties of the room are learned the greater the accuracy of the room correction RoomCorrection The RoomCorrection index is a measure of how much processing is being employed in the room correc tion filter To some extent the RoomCorrection index reflects how audible the correction is However the same amount of processing can sound very different due to placement in frequency of the processing For low values below 10 of the room correction index only subtle correction is needed to the original sound in the room With high room correction index values more extensive processing is employed LYNGDORF Display The sub menus accessible in the Display menu are Display Display Timeout Disp Brightness Display Timeout Display Timeout Display Timeout Display Timeout set up is used for enabling disabling the 10 sec display switch off feature If enabled the Main Display reading will switch off after 10 sec of inactivity from the front panel buttons or re mote Display Brightness Display Brightness Disp Brightness Display Brightness is used to control the brightness of the display The brightness can be set to 25 50 75 or 100 Input Connection Input Connection i The Input Connection c
