Subwoofer distance setting

• Default setting: 10 ft.

Like your speakers, you should set the distance of the subwoofer accurately to hear sounds from all speakers at the same time.

• Use or to set the distance of the subwoofer from the main listening posi- tion (within the range of 0.5 ft. to 45 ft.).

•When SW NO is selected in the subwoofer setting, the subwoofer distance can’t be set.

language on one channel and a different language on the other. With this setting you can choose which channel in the dual mono setting you want to listen to.

If Dolby Digital mode is switched on, you will hear the channel you have selected (either ch1 or ch2) through your center speaker. With Dolby Digital mode off, or if you don’t have a center speaker, you will hear the channel you have selected through both front speakers. In the L ch 1.R ch2 setting, the left front speaker will play channel 1 and the right front speaker will play channel 2.

• Use or to cycle through the possible dual mono settings.

Dynamic range control setting

• Default setting: OFF

Dynamic range is the difference between the loudest and softest sounds in any given signal. With this setting, you can compress the dynamic range, so that low level sounds can be heard more easily (sounding relatively louder) yet louder sounds won’t be too over- bearing.

• Use or to set the dynamic range control (OFF, MAX, or MID).

•When listening at low volumes, set to MAX for maximum dynamic range compression.

•Dynamic range control is effective only when a Dolby Digital or DTS signal is being played back.
