The Audio Adjust settings are explained below.

Tone Control Settings

You can adjust the bass and treble for the front speakers, except when the Direct listening mode is selected.

Bass

You can boost or cut low-frequency sounds output by the front speakers from –10 dB to +10 dB in 2 dB steps.

Treble

You can boost or cut high-frequency sounds output by the front speakers from –10 dB to +10 dB in 2 dB steps.

Notes:

To bypass the bass and treble tone circuits, select the Direct listening mode.

This procedure can also be performed on the AV receiver by using its [TONE], [–], and [+] buttons.

Late Night Function

Late Night

With the Late Night 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.

For Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus sources, the options are:

Off: Late Night function off (default). Low: Small reduction in dynamic range. High: Large reduction in dynamic range.

For Dolby TrueHD sources, the options are:

Auto: The Late Night function is set to On or Off automatically (default).

Off: Late Night function off.

On: Late Night function on.

Notes:

The Late Night function can be used only when the input source is Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, or Dolby TrueHD.

The effect of the Late Night function depends on the material that you are playing and the intention of the original sound designer, and with some material there will be little or no effect when you select the different options.

The Late Night function is set to Off when the AV receiver is set to Standby. For Dolby TrueHD sources, it will be set to Auto.

CinemaFILTER

Cinema Fltr

With the CinemaFILTER, you can soften overly bright movie soundtracks, which are typically mixed for repro- duction in a movie theater.

CinemaFILTER can be used with the following listening modes: Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Pro Logic IIx Movie, Dolby Pro Logic II Movie, DTS, DTS- ES, DTS Neo:6 Cinema, DTS 96/24, and Neo:6.

Off: CinemaFILTER off.

On: CinemaFILTER on.

Note:

The CinemaFILTER may not work when used with certain input sources.
