The Audio Adjust functions are explained below.

■Double Bass

The Double Bass function boosts the bass by feeding bass sounds from the front left and right channels to the subwoofer. To use this function, in the Speaker Configu- ration, the Subwoofer setting must be set to Yes and the Front setting must be set to Large (see page 32).

The Double Bass function works well with mono and 2- channel sources, including 96 kHz PCM.

On: Double Bass function on.

Off: Double Bass function off.

■Late Night (Dolby Digital only)

With this function you can reduce the dynamic range of Dolby Digital material so that you can still hear quiet parts even when listening at low volume levels—ideal for watching movies late at night when you don’t want to disturb anyone.

Off: Late Night function off.

Low: Small reduction in dynamic range.

High: Big reduction in dynamic range.

Note that the effect of the Late Night function depends on the Dolby Digital material that you are playing, and with some material there will be little or no effect.

This function is turned off when the TX-SR502/ TX-SR502E is set to Standby.

Tip: You can also set this function by using the remote controller’s [L NIGHT] button.

■CinemaFILTER

With this function, you can soften the harshness, or brightness sometimes experienced with movie soundtracks, which are typically mixed for reproduction in a movie theater.

You can set the CinemaFILTER function to On or Off. The CinemaFILTER function can be used with the fol- lowing listening modes: Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Pro Logic II Movie, Dolby Pro Logic IIx Movie, DTS, DTS-ES, DTS NEO:6 Cinema, DTS 96/ 24, DTS+Neo:6, and DTS+Dolby EX.

Tip: You can also set this function by using the remote controller’s [CINE FLTR] button.

Adjusting the DTS Neo:6 Music Mode

■Center Image

DTS Neo:6 derives a center-channel signal from stereo material, either analog or digital. In Music mode, the center speaker is intended to augment the left and right speakers, allowing them to faithfully reproduce the orig- inal stereo mix. For this reason, the center channel sound is not fully subtracted from the left and right channels. With this function, you can adjust the amount of subtrac- tion depending on your room layout and personal prefer- ence.
