Preparations
SURROUND speakers distance setting mode
Use to set the SURROUND speakers distance. Like the CENTER speaker position, the SURROUND speakers may be set in a location closer or farther to your main listening position than the FRONT speakers. Set the distance of the SURROUND speakers accurately to hear sounds coming from both FRONT and SURROUND speakers at the same time.
Dynamic range control setting mode
Dynamic range is the difference between the loudest and softest sounds in any given signal. The dynamic range control helps you play back sounds so the quieter sounds are audible yet the louder sounds don’t get distorted. It does this by compressing the dynamic range. When watching a movie at low volume, setting this function enables low level sounds to be heard more easily but you won’t be jolted by louder sounds.
Press % or fi to set the distance of the
SURROUND speakers from the main listening position (within a 30 foot range).
MEMO:
•The initial setting is 10 ft.
•When “S*” is selected in SPEAKERS setting mode, the SURROUND distance cannot be set.
•One step equals about 1 ft.
Press % or fi to set the dynamic range control (OFF, MAX, or MID).
MEMO:
•The initial setting is “OFF”.
•When the volume level is increased, set to OFF.
•For listening enjoyment at low volumes, set to “MAX” for maximum dynamic range compression.
•Dynamic range control is effective only when a Dolby Digital signal is being played back.
SURROUND BACK speaker distance setting mode
Use to set the SURROUND back speaker distance. Like the SURROUND speakers, the SURROUND BACK speakers may be set in a location closer or farther to your main listening position than the FRONT speakers. Set the distance of the SURROUND speakers accurately to hear sounds coming from both FRONT and SURROUND speakers at the same time.
Press % or fi to set the distance of the
SURROUND speakers from the main listening position (within a 30 foot range).
MEMO:
•The initial setting is 10 ft.
•When “SB*” is selected in SPEAKERS setting mode, the SURROUND BACK distance cannot be set.
•One step equals about 1 ft.
Dual mono setting
The dual mono setting can only be used when listening to Dolby Digital discs that have dual mono software encoded in them. As of now these are not that widely used. With this setting you can choose which channel in the dual mono setting you want to listen to. Thus, it is useful for soundtracks that have one language on one channel and a different language on the other. Remember you can only use this setting if you have Dolby Digital software with this feature and want to isolate one of the channels therein.
There are two different ways to route the sound in the dual mono setting, one is with Dolby Digital mode on, the other with Dolby Digital mode off. If Dolby Digital mode is switched on, the ch1 setting will play channel 1 through your center speaker. The ch2 setting will play channel 2 through your center speaker. With Dolby Digital mode off, the dual mono sound routing is as follows: In the ch1 setting your will hear channel 1 out of both front speakers. In the ch2 setting you will hear channel 2 out of both speakers. In the L. c1 R. c2 setting the speakers will play the soundtrack independently of each other. The left front speaker will play channel 1 and the right front speaker will play channel 2.
