Adjusting the bass and treble

The simplest way to shape the sound is by adjusting the amount of bass and treble.

•The bass and treble controls have no effect when using the DSP modes, or when the surround mode is set to anything other than STANDARD, AUTO or SURR. OFF (surround off).

•You cannot adjust the bass or treble when Record mode is active (see Direct recording on page 25).

1 Press SOUND.

2Use the 2 or 3 buttons to select BASS or

TREBLE.

3Use the 5 and ∞ buttons to adjust the sound.

You can see the current level in the display.

4 Press ENTER.

Using P.Bass

In addition to the standard controls for adjusting bass and treble, this system has a P.Bass feature. Switch this on to further extend the bass.

•P.Bass has no effect when listening through headphones.

•You cannot adjust P.Bass when Record mode is active (see Direct recording on page 25).

1 Press SOUND.

2 Use the 2 or 3 buttons to select P.BASS.

3Use the 5 and ∞ buttons to switch on or off.

4 Press ENTER.

Using sound modes

The sound modes allow you to add various surround and room-type sound effects to your DVDs, CDs and other sources. These effects process the sound in various ways to simulate different spaces such as a theater, or concert hall.

For Dolby Surround, Dolby Digital or DTS surround sources, such as DVDs, use the Advanced Theater effects to add room ambience to the sound; for stereo-only sources, such as audio CDs, use the DSP modes.

For each effect you can also adjust how strong the effect sounds. Often, a more subtle effect level enhances the sound better than turning it right up. Experiment to see what works best for you.

Listening to surround-sound sources

When you play DVD discs with Dolby Digital or DTS sound, choose from the following sound settings.

•Auto – For digital sources, decoding is automati- cally selected according to the source: Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby Pro Logic, 2-channel stereo, etc. No extra effects are added to the source. Analog sources are played in the same way as the Surround Off setting.

•Standard – As Auto, except that 2-channel

(analog or digital) sources are processed using Dolby Pro Logic for surround-sound effects.

The following six settings are Advanced Theater effects.

•Musical – Concert hall sound.

•Drama – Classic, mid-size movie theater sound.

•Action – Large, modern movie theater sound.

•Virtual Surround 1 (VIR.SURR.1) –

Virtual surround sound from just the main front stereo speakers and a subwoofer. Use this mode if you can't use the surround speakers.

•Virtual Surround 2 (VIR.SURR.2) –

Virtual surround sound if you have connected the surround speakers, but are using them in front of the listening position.

•Rear Wide – Widens the rear channel soundstage.
