When using the DSP mode effect during playback from an analog device, the sound will occasionally be distorted due to a overly- strong input signal. In these instances, it is possible to adjust the level of the input signal. Only input signals from analog devices (TV SOUND, VCR, TAPE, AUX, MD, DBS) may be adjusted in this way.

1. Open the SOUND MENU.

See page 41, “Opening the SOUND MENU”.

2. Move the pointer to INPUT ATT. using the 5/cursors.

3. Use the 2/3cursors to select ON or NORMAL.

Pressing 2/3 toggles loudness ON or NORMAL.

ON : Recommended to reduce sound distortion.

NORMAL : Default setting.

Notes:

This setting does not affect digital signals.

When in ON mode, ATT will light up in the display window. However, when the playback source is digital (DVD, etc.) it will go off. Lighting up will resume if playback is switched to an analog device.

Even while in ON mode, if the DSP mode is turned off (“DSP OFF”), playback will continue without any reduction of the input signal.

When the sub-woofer output level is too high, use the LFE Attenuator to lower the output level.

1. Open the SOUND MENU.

See page 41, “Opening the SOUND MENU”.
