Surround sound and other settings 09

•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 33).

•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.

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 10 – LFE channel is attenuated by 10dB

•LFE OFF – LFE channel is not played

•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.
