the home environment.

• Late Night

Select “High,” “Low,” or “OFF.”

Cinema sound has a vast dynamic range and therefore, to hear quiet sound such as environmental sound and human conversations, it must be played back at large sound volumes. When this parameter is set to “High” or “Low,” however, the dynamic range of the sound is narrowed down to allow you to hear easily minute sound at low vol- umes. This function is useful if you wish to play a movie at low volumes, especially in midnight.

Notes:

•The depth of the Late Night effect is determined by Dolby Digi- tal software. Some sounds may produce no or little effect.

•The Late Night function is effective only on Dolby Digital en- coded software.

• Front Effect

Select “ON” or “OFF.”

Some live recordings contain acoustic reverberation. When you play these sources, more reverberation will be applied by the DSP, creating too much reverb effects and the sound loses its frame or presence. In this case, set FRONT EFFECT to OFF. No reverbera- tion from the DSP will be applied to the sound output from three front channels, and the sound source will be played as it is without any further reverberation.

Note:

The Front Effect function is effective only on the Action, Musical, MonoMovie, Orchestra, Unplugged, Studio-Mix, and TV Logic sound.

• LFE (Low Frequency Effect) level

This parameter is used to adjust the level of LFE in Dolby Digital, or DTS software. When this parameter is selected, the following screen appears.

• Reflect Level

Set a value between -5 and +5 dB, in units of 1 dB.

You can adjust the strength of direct sound reflection, depending on the playback source material, your audio room conditions, and so on.
