SPEAKER CONFIGURATION, DELAY TIME & DYNAMIC RANGE CONTROL

SPEAKER CONFIGURATION

It is important to configure your speakers correctly in order to get the most from your AV Receiver. This versatile AV Receiver provides the flexibility to experience multi-channel surround sound without a center speaker. However, for best results with Dolby Pro Logic II, DTS and Dolby Digital decoding, at least 5 speakers (Left, Center, Right, Left Rear and Right Rear) should be used. (Note: As with all surround sound configurations, we recommend the use of a Subwoofer speaker to fully experience the Low Frequency Effect encoded into most of today's DVD movies).

BASS MODE

There are 2 preset speaker configurations based on the size of your speakers.

Default is Mode 1.

	Front L &	Center	Rear L &	Sub-Woofer
	R		R
Mode1	Small	Small	Small	On
Mode2	Large	Small	Small	On

Press BASS MODE to select one of the 2 modes according to your speaker's size.

(Note: Large speakers can fully reproduce low frequencies of below 80Hz. Small speaker cannot reproduce low frequencies of below 80Hz with sufficient volume. Refer to your speaker specifications to select the correct size).

DELAY TIME

The delay time can be individually set for the Dolby Digital/Dolby Pro Logic II modes using the DELAY (CENTER/REAR) buttons. When you adjust the delay time in the Dolby Digital mode, an additional 15 ms is automatically added to the surround channels in the Dolby Pro Logic mode. The current setting is shown on the display.

1.Press "DELAY TIME" on the remote control repeatedly, the corresponding speaker appears on the display: S → C

2.Press +/- button to set the time delay.

Delay Time Setting Adjustable Range

DOLBY DIGITAL MODES:

0-15 ms in 5 ms step (S-Delay) 0-5 ms in 1 ms step (C-Delay)

DOLBY PRO LOGIC II MODE:

10-25 ms in 5 ms step (S-Delay)

In the surround modes, the sound from the speakers should be delayed slightly, relative to that from the front speakers.

The optimum delay time will depend on acoustic properties, whether the walls and furnishings reflect or absorb sound, etc.

It is recommended that you try different delay times to obtain the best effect. The delay is digitally synthesized.

For the highest sound quality with minimum noise and distortion, the delay time can be set independently for each surround mode using the DELAY TIME buttons, with the current setting shown in the display.

DYNAMIC RANGE CONTROL

This button controls the compression range of sound track. If the compression is large (DRC = 4/4), the sound effect is retarded to a certain range. As a result, sound effect is not as excited as normal range DRC = 0/4). It is useful when you want to movies at the late night.

zPress DYNAMIC on remote control repeatedly until the desired compression range reached.

DRC=0/4	No Compression
DRC=1/4
DRC=2/4
DRC=3/4
DRC=4/4	Greatest Compression

Note:

1.The Dynamic Range Control state will resume to normal if you do not press it after 5 seconds.

2.Dynamic Range Compression is not possible with DTS sources.
