Loudness

The Loud function compensates for deficiencies in sound ranges at low levels. Loudness levels range from 1-4 or “off”. The Loudness level/function is dependent on the main volume setting. As the volume is increased, less Loudness compensation is applied to the audio signal. This is referred to "Auto-Loudness". The possible loudness settings are as follows:

•Off

•1 - Slight bass boost at low volume level

•2 - Moderate bass boost at low volume level

•3 - Good bass boost at low to mid volume level

•4 - maximum bass boost at mid volume level

When the Loud function is on, “LOUD” is displayed on the screen.

NOTE: If the unit is reset while a DVD is playing, the DVD resumes play once the reset is complete.
