If the source is a 2-channel LPCM audio or a 2- channel Dolby Digital audio and you select SFC effects that are most applicable for 5.1-channel audio (i.e., MUSICAL, DRAMA or ACTION), we recommend turning Dolby Pro Logic II on. On the other hand, when selecting SFC effects that are intended for use with 2-channel audio (i.e., JAZZ, HALL or CLUB), we recommend turning Dolby Pro Logic II off.

Using the dynamic range control

difference so that you can clearly hear sounds even at low volume levels.

!The dynamic range control is effective only on Dolby Digital sounds.

!Settings are based on the FM volume level, which remains unchanged.

1Compare the FM volume level with the level of the source you wish to adjust.
