Setting the Various Sound Effects (Sound Effect)

This sub-menu is used to turn on and off the various sound effects available with the DTR-7.4.

3-3.Sound Effect

a.Re-EQ	:Off
b.Upsampling	:Off
c.Double Bass	:On
d.Late Night	:Off

Quit:[SETUP]

a. Re-EQ

Re-EQ (re-equalization) 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 environment. This can be set to either “On” or “Off.”

On the remote controller, press the scroll wheel, and then press the Re-EQ button.

b. Upsampling

Upsampling processes the input digital signal, or the dig- ital signal converted from an analog input source, and converts its digital sampling frequency to twice its cur- rent frequency for an even further detailed sound repro- duction. This can be set to either “On” or “Off.” When “On” is selected, the Upsampling indicator lights.

c. Double Bass

The Double Bass function boosts the bass sound by letting the bass sound of “Front” speakers output also from the sub- woofer. To enable this function, in the “Speaker Config” menu, set the “Subwoofer” to “Yes” and “Front” to “Large.”

On: Select to turn on the Double Bass function.

Off: Select to turn off the Double Bass function.

Note:

Double Bass “Off” is the THX preferred setting for accu- rate bass reproduction.

d. Late Night

The audio for movies made for the cinema have a large dynamic range; thus, the difference between loud noises and soft noises is great. To hear the quieter sounds such as background noises or human conversations, the movie must be played back at higher volumes. When this setting is set to “High” or “Low,” the dynamic range of the sound is nar- rowed down to allow you to hear easily minute sounds at low volumes. This function is especially useful if you wish to play a movie at a low volume during the nighttime. This can be set to either “Off” or “Low,” or “High.” On the remote controller, press the scroll wheel, and then press the L Night button repeatedly.

However, when the DTR-7.4 enters the standby state, this setting returns to the default setting (“Off”).

Notes:

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

•The depth of the Late Night effect is determined by Dolby Digital software. With some sources, it may produce little or no effect.
