Speaker level adjustment

The output level from the desired speaker channels can be fine adjusted according to the properties of each disc.

The adjustment is only temporary for the current input selection. The value will return automatically to the original setup value when the power is turned on/off or when the input selection is changed.

œPress [SOUND] repeatedly until the speaker to be adjusted appears on the display. ("C", "RS", "RB", "BS", LB", "LS", or "SW")

∑Use the [MULTI CONTROL 5/∞] to adjust the level.

Input level adjustment (analog sources only)

If the input level of an analog source signal is too high, the CLIP indicator will blink to indicate. Adjust the input level.

œPress [SOUND] repeatedly until "INPUT" appears on the display.

∑Use the [MULTI CONTROL 5/∞] to adjust the level.

Midnight mode (Dolby Digital and DTS mode only)

When watching movies at night, you might not be able to raise the volume as loud as normal. Midnight mode compresses the dynamic range of previously specified heavy sound passage of the Dolby Digital and DTS mode sound track (like scenes with sudden increases in volume) to minimize the difference in volume between the scenes with heavy sound passage and scenes with normal sound passage. This makes it easy to hear all of the sound track, even when listening at low volumes.

œPress [SOUND] repeatedly until "NIGHT" appears on the display.

This can be selected only if "CD/DVD", "DVD/6CH" or "VIDEO2" is selected as the source and the listen mode is set to "DOLBY DIGITAL" or "DTS".

∑Use [MULTI CONTROL 5/∞] to select the "ON" or "OFF" setting.

•Some Dolby Digital or DTS software may not be compatible with the Midnight mode.
