Each time it is pressed there- after, the remaining time until the DTR-9.1 turns off decreases by 10 minutes. While, the sleep function is enabled, you can press the SLEEP but-

ton to see how much time is left. To cancel the sleep function, press the SLEEP button when the time displayed is less than 10 minutes.

POWER ON/STNBY: Turns on the DTR-9.1 or puts it in standby

DISPLAY: Changes the display

Same as the DISPLAY button on front panel of

the DTR-9.1.

VOL : Adjusts the volume

CH : Selects the tuner preset stations

TEST: Outputs a test tone for setting speaker levels

Use this button in conjunction with the LEVEL +/- and CH SEL buttons to calibrate the speakers lev- els without entering the OSD Menu. When TEST button is pressed, the test noise (pink noise) is output. Use the LEVEL +/- buttons to increase or decrease the sound level. Use the CH SEL button

to change from speaker to speaker. For a more detailed explanation of how to calibrate the speaker levels, see page 32.

b. Muting Level (See page 46)

OPEN/CLOSE: Open and close the front door that covers the lower buttons.

INPUT SELECTOR: Selects an input source

Same as the input selector buttons on front panel of the DTR-9.1.

Re-EQ: Depending on the listening mode, you can either turn the cinema re-equalization function on or off, or you can select “Re-EQ,” “Acad- emy,” or “Off”

The re-equalization function takes the edginess or “brightness” out of your home cinema sound to compensate for the fact that sound mixed for theaters may sound too bright when played back through speakers in the home environ-

ment.

LATE NIGHT: Sets “High,” “Low,” or “Off” for the late night function

Cinema sound has a vast dynamic range; there- fore, to hear the quieter sounds such as human conversations, they must be played back at larger volumes. When this parameter is set to “High” or “Low,” the dynamic range of the sound is narrowed down to allow you to easily hear minute sounds at low volumes. This function is especially useful if you wish to play a movie at low volumes during the nighttime.

Notes:

The depth of the Late Night effect is determained by Dolby Digital software. Some sounds may pro- duce no or little effect.

The Late Night function is effective only on Dolby Digital encoded software.

CH SEL: Selects a speaker for changing the speaker output level

See TEST button above.

DIMMER: Adjusts the display brightness

There are four settings available: normal, dark, very dark, and off.

LEVEL +: Increases the speaker level

See TEST button above.

See TEST button above.
