Dialogue Normalization

The dialogue normalization function is activated automatically when playing Dolby Digital program sources.

Dialogue normalization is a basic function of Dolby Digital which automatically normalizes the dialog level )standard level) of the signals which are recorded at different levels for different program sources, such as DVD, DTV and other future formats that will use Dolby Digital

These contents can be verified with the STATUS button.

Surround parameters

CINEMA EQ. (Cinema Equalizer}:

The Cinema EQ function gently decreases the level of the extreme high frequencies, compensating for ovedy-bdght sounding motion picture

soundtracks Select this function if the sound from the front speakers is too bright.

This function only works in the Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby Digital, DTS Surround, DTS NEQ:6 and WIDE SCREEN modes (The same contents are set for all operating modes)

D.COMR )Dynamic Range Compression):

Motion picture soundtracks have tremendous dynamic range (the contrast between very soft and very loud sounds) For listening late at night, or

whenever the maximum sound level is lower than usual, the Dynamic Range Compression allows you to hear all of the sounds in the soundtrack (but with reduced dynamic range) (This only works when playing program sources recorded in Dolby Digital or DTS) Select one of the four parameters ("OFF", "LOW', "MID" (middle) or "HI" (high)) Set to OFF for normal listening.

LFE (Low Frequency Effect}:

This sets the level of the LFE (Low Frequency Effect) sot_nds included in the source when playing program sot_rces recorded in Dolby Digital or DTS
