Fine Tuning Your System

Expert Setup

The settings here can only be done if you've performed the more basic preliminary setups. Thus, before doing these settings do either AUTO setup (page 13–15), QUICK setup (page 38) or NORMAL setup (page 39–43). These settings are to further heighten your surround sound. They are not absolutely necessary but may give more defined and enjoyable surround sound. You can decide if you want to make these settings or not. You only need to make these settings once (unless you change the placement of your current speaker system, add new speakers or components to your system, etc.). These setup operations use your TV to display the settings and choices so be sure your TV and receiver are properly hooked up. Use the arrow buttons (5∞) and the ENTER button on the remote control to navigate the OSDs on your TV. Conversely, you can use the MULTI JOG dial and ENTER button, and look at the display, on the Front Panel.

ACOUSTIC CAL EQ (pages 100–102)

This feature allows you to adjust the amount of a certain frequency in a soundtrack, acting as a kind of room equalizer for your speakers.

BASS PEAK LEVEL (page 103)

Dolby Digital and DTS audio sources include ultra-low bass tones. Set the bass peak level as needed to prevent the ultra-low bass tones from distorting the sound from the speakers.

DYNAMIC RANGE CONTROL (page 104)

This feature makes possible excellent surround sound effects when listening to Dolby Digital and DTS sources at low volumes.
