3D STEREO ENHANCEMENT
The WM8973L has a digital 3D enhancement option to artificially increase the separation between
the left and right channels. This effect can be used for recording or playback, but not for both
simultaneously. Selection of 3D for record or playback is controlled by register bit MODE3D.
Important:
Switching the 3D filter from record to playback or from playback to record may only be done
when ADC and DAC are disabled. The WM8973L control interface will only allow MODE3D to
be changed when ADC and DAC are disabled (i.e. bits ADCL, ADCR, DACL and DACR in reg.
26 / 1Ah are all zero).
The 3D enhancement function is activated by the 3DEN bit, and has two programmable parameters.
The 3DDEPTH setting controls the degree of stereo expansion. Additionally, one of four filter
characteristics can be selected for the 3D processing, using the 3DVC and 3DLC control bits.
Table 15 3D Stereo Enhancement Function
When 3D enhancement is enabled (and/or the graphic equaliser for playback) it may be necessary to
attenuate the signal by 6dB to avoid limiting. This is a user selectable function, enabled by setting
ADCDIV2 for the record path and DACDIV2 for the playback path.
