Surround Mode Night Mode

One of the most important features of the LR-7500 is its ability to reproduce a full multichannel surround sound field from digital sources, analog matrix surround- encoded programs and standard stereo programs. Surround modes may be changed at any time by using either the front panel or remote controller.

1Press the SURR.M button (or the SURR.M button on the remote controller) from the front panel until the desired major surround mode group such as Dolby or DTS is selected to select a new surround mode.

2Press the SURR. SEL(n/6) button (or the SURR(v/^) on the remote controller) repeatedly until choose the specific individual.

•The Dolby Digital. Dolby Digital EX and DTS 5.1, DTS- ES Matrix and DTS-ES Discrete modes may only be selected when a digital input is in use.

•The Dolby Pro Logic llx modes are available only when the LR-7500 has been configured for 6.1/7.1 operation by configuring the Surround Back speak- ers as either "Large" or "Small"

•When the 7.1 CH direct inputs are in use there is no surround processing, as these inputs take the analog output signals from an optional, external DVD-Audio or SACD player, or another source device and carry them straight through to the volume control without any further digital processing.

•To listen to a program in traditional two-channel stereo, using the front left and front right speakers only (plus the subwoofer, if installed and configured).

NOTE: Once a program has been encoded with matrix surround information, it retains the surround informa- tion as long as the program is broadcast in stereo. Thus, movies with surround sound may be decoded via any of the analog surround modes such as Dolby Pro Logic ll Movie or DTS Neo:6 Cinema, when they are broadcast via conventional TV stations, cable, pay-TV and satellite transmission. In addition, a grow- ing number of made-for-television programs, sports broadcasts, radio dramas and music CDs are also recorded in surround sound.

In may listening situations, you may find loud passages objectionable. Adjusting this setting allows you to com- press the sounds into a range that you may find more suitable for a particular listening situation. Dolby Digital satisfies these needs through the dynamic range con- trolling. Select one of the followings to fit the individual listening situation of the audience.

1The Night mode may be engaged when a Dolby Digital DVD is playing by pressing the NIGHT button.

2Press the 5/b buttons to select either the middle range of full-compression versions of the Night mode.

MAX:

Audio with fully compressed dynamic range.

MID:

Audio with partially compressed dynamic range.

OFF:

Audio with uncompressed dynamic range. Select this when you don't want to use the night mode.

•This function is effective only when playing back a DVD disc recorded with Dolby Digital. This control has no effect on other discs.
