08Surround sound and other settings

Dynamic Range Control

Specifies the amount of dynamic range adjustment to Dolby Digital or DTS soundtracks:

•DRC Off – No dynamic range adjustment (use when listening at higher volume)

•DRC Mid – Mid setting

•DRC High – Dynamic range is reduced (loud sounds are reduced in volume while quieter sounds are increased)

Note

•This setting works only with Dolby Digital and some DTS soundtracks. For other sources, you can create a similar effect using the Midnight mode (see Using Quiet and Midnight listening modes on page 28).

Dual mono setting

Specifies how dual mono encoded Dolby Digital or DTS soundtracks should be played. You can also use this setting to switch the audio channel on DVD-RW discs recorded with two separate soundtracks.

•L-Ch1R-Ch2– Both channels are played through the front speakers

•Ch1 Mono – Only channel 1 is played

•Ch2 Mono – Only channel 2 is played

Note

•On the Ch1 Mono and Ch2 Mono settings the sound comes only from the center speaker (or from the front speakers if listening in STEREO mode).

•This setting works only with dual mono encoded Dolby Digital or DTS soundtracks. See the disc packaging for channel information.

LFE attenuator setting

Dolby Digital and DTS audio sources include ultra-low bass tones. Set the LFE attenuator as needed to prevent the ultra-low bass from distorting the sound.

•LFE ATT 0 – The LFE channel is played with no attenuation

•LFE ATT 10 – LFE channel is attenuated by 10dB

•LFE OFF – LFE channel is not played

SR+ control options for Pioneer plasma displays

You only need to make the following settings if you have connected a Pioneer plasma display to this unit using an SR+ cable (not supplied).

Note that in the function settings below, the number of video inputs may change depending on your display. See also Using this unit with a Pioneer plasma display on page 55.

Control mode setting

•SR+ Off – Switches SR+ off (this unit and the plasma display work independently)

•SR+ On – Switches SR+ on (this unit sends control signals to the plasma display)

The following settings are only available if the Control mode setting (above) is switched on.

Volume control setting

•Vol C.Off – This unit does not control the volume of the plasma display

•Vol C.On – When this unit is switched to an input that used the plasma display (DVD, for example), the volume on the plasma display is muted so only sound from this unit is heard.
