SURROUND

PARAMETER

Select the various parameters.

Enter the setting.

ENTER

NOTE:

• When “Default” is selected and the cursor button is pressed, “CINEMA EQ.” and “D.COMP.” are automatically turned off, “6.1/7.1

Surround” is reset, “CHANNEL LEVEL” and the tone is set to the default value.

Surround parameters w

CINEMA EQ. (Cinema Equalizer):

The Cinema EQ function gently decreases the level of the extreme high frequencies, compensating for overly-bright sounding motion picture

soundtracks. Select this function if the sound from the front speakers is too bright.

This function only works in the Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital, DTS Surround and Wide Screen modes.

D.COMP. (Dynamic Range Compression):

Motion picture soundtracks have tremendous dynamic range (the contrast between very soft and very loud sounds). For listening late at night,

or whenever the maximum sound level is lower than usual, the Dynamic Range Compression allows you to hear all of the sounds in the

soundtrack (but with reduced dynamic range). (This only works when playing program sources recorded in Dolby Digital or DTS.) Select one of

the four parameters (“OFF”, “LOW”, “MID” (middle) or “HI” (high)). Set to OFF for normal listening.

This parameter is displayed only when playing compatible sources in DTS mode.

6.1 / 7.1 Surround:

When set to “ON”, the same digital matrix processing as with THX Surround EX is performed, and surround back signals are created from the

two channels of surround signals (SL and SR) upon playback.

The surround mode switches to DOLBY 6.1 when playing Dolby Digital signals, to DTS (ES) when playing DTS signals.

NOTE: In the Pro Logic and THX modes, no sound is output from the surround back speakers, even if this is set to “ON”.

This operation can be performed directly using the buttons on the main unit’s panel.

TONE:

This adjusts the tone control. (See “Surround parameters e” on page 56.)

2 Dialogue Normalization

The dialogue normalization function is activated automatically when playing Dolby Digital program sources.

Dialogue normalization is a basic function of Dolby Digital which automatically normalizes the dialog level (standard level) of the signals which are

recorded at different levels for different program sources, such as DVD, DTV and other future formats that will use Dolby Digital.

When this function is activated, the following message appears on the main unit’s display:

The number indicates the normalization level when the currently playing program is normalized to the

standard level.
