10 Advanced Sound Setup

Advanced sound settings

This chapter covers advanced settings to further optimize the sound of your system.

LFE attenuator

The LFE (low frequency effects) channel carries ultra low bass sound to add weight to effects in Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks. This channel can overload the sub-woofer resulting in distortion. Use the LFE attenuator setting to reduce the signal fed to the sub- woofer.

Note: The LFE attenuator only works with sources that contain an LFE channel. It is not a general level control for the sub-woofer.

1Press SYS then SETUP.

2Press the @ or # button until you see LFE ATT in the display.

3Use the % and Þ buttons to set the amount of signal reduction.

There are three settings:

•ATT 0 – default setting (no signal reduction)

•ATT 10 – the LFE channel signal level is reduced to avoid distortion

•OFF – the LFE channel is switched off completely. This may be useful late at night, for example.

4Press ENTER to make the setting.

Dynamic Range Control

The dynamic range of a source is the difference between the quietest and the loudest sounds. The dynamic range of Dolby Digital soundtracks can be very great. This makes them exciting, but it also means that when you turn the volume down you can easily lose quiet dialog. Switch on Dynamic Range Control to even out the soundtrack volume.

1Press SYS then SETUP.

2Press the @ or # button until you see D.R.C. in the display.

3Use the % and Þ buttons to sselect a dynamic range setting.

•D.R.C. OFF – default setting (no change to the dynamics)

•D.R.C. LOW – the dynamic range is reduced by a small amount.

•D.R.C. MEDIUM – mid setting

•D.R.C. HIGH – the dynamic range is reduced by a large amount (good for listening at very low volume).

4Press ENTER to make the setting.
