Adjusting the Listening Modes—Continued

T–D (Theater-Dimensional) Setting

LstnAngl (Listening Angle)

With this setting, you can optimize the Theater-Dimen- sional listening mode by specifying the angle of the front left and right speakers relative to the listening position. Ideally, the front left and right speakers should be equi- distant from the listening position and at an angle close to one of the two available settings.

Front left speaker

Front right speaker

 

20˚/40˚

Narrow: Select if the listening angle is 20 degrees. Wide: Select if the listening angle is 40 degrees

(default).

Multichannel Subwoofer Setting

SW InSens (TX-SR506)

On some DVD players, the signal from the multichannel subwoofer output is 15 dB higher than normal. You can change the subwoofer sensitivity to match your DVD player. Note that this setting only affects signals con- nected to the SUBWOOFER input jack of the multichan- nel DVD input.

You can select 0 dB (default), +5 dB, +10 dB, or +15 dB. If you find that your subwoofer is too loud, try the +10 dB or +15 dB setting.

Note:

For details on how to set the TX-SR576, see pages 74 and 75.

Using the Audio Settings

You can change various audio settings by pressing the [AUDIO] button.

1

Press the [RECEIVER] button fol-

 

 

lowed by the [AUDIO] button.

2

Use the Up and Down [ ]/[ ]

 

buttons to select an item.

3

Use the Left and Right [ ]/[ ]

 

buttons to change the setting.

Repeat this step for the other settings.

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 or Pure Audio (not North Amer- ican models) 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 or Pure Audio (not North American model) lis- tening 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.

Notes:

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