2 Surround parameters e

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 IIx, Dolby

Digital, DTS Surround and DTS NEO:6 modes. (The same

contents are set for all operating 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 “HIGH”).

Set to “OFF” for normal listening.

SB CH OUT (Surround Back):

(1) Multi-channel source

• OFF:

Playback is conducted without using the surround back

speaker.

• NON MTRX:

The same signals as those of the surround channels are

output from the surround back channels.

• MTRX ON:

The surround back channel is reproduced using digital matrix

processing.

• ES MTRX:

When playing DTS signals, the surround back signals undergo

digital matrix processing for playback.

• ES DSCRT:

When a signal identifying the source as a discrete 6.1-channel

source is included in the DTS signals, the surround back

signals included in the source are played.

• PLIIx Cinema:

Processing is performed with the Cinema mode of the PLIIx

decoder and the surround back channel is reproduced.

• PLII x Music:

Processing is performed with the Music mode of the PLIIx

decoder and the surround back channel is reproduced.

(2) 2ch source

• OFF:

Playback is conducted without using the surround back speaker.

• ON:

Playback is conducted using the surround back speaker.

TONE:

This enables tone control. This can be set individually for the

separate surround modes other than DIRECT mode.

LFE (Low Frequency Effect):

This sets the level of the LFE (Low Frequency Effect) sounds

included in the source when playing program sources recorded

in Dolby Digital or DTS.

If the sound produced from the subwoofer sounds distorted

due to the LFE signals when playing Dolby Digital or DTS

sources when the peak limiter is turned off with the subwoofer

peak limit level setting, adjust the level as necessary.

Program source and adjustment range:

1. Dolby Digital: –10 dB to 0 dB

2. DTS Surround: –10 dB to 0 dB

When DTS encoded movie software is played, it is

recommended that the LFE LEVEL be set to 0 dB for

correct DTS playback.

When DTS encoded music software is played, it is

recommended that the LFE LEVEL be set to –10 dB for

correct DTS playback.

Night mode

When listening at night or at lower volumes, the night mode

improves listenability.

Press and hold the NIGHT button for several seconds

to enter the night mode.

• Canceling night mode:

Press and hold the NIGHT button again.

• The night mode only works when playing program sources

recorded in Dolby Digital or DTS.

2 Dialogue normalization

The dialog normalization function is activated automatically when

playing Dolby Digital program sources.

Dialog 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.

These contents can be verified with the STATUS button.

OFFSET - 4dB

The number indicates the normalization level when the

currently playing program is normalized to the standard

level.
