USING THE T 163
ADJUSTING LISTENING MODES
Several of the T 163’s listening modes have one or more selectable variations and adjustable parameters you can modify to suit you system, the recording, or your personal preferences.
Use the HTR 2 remote's [Surr. Mode] key, or the front panel SURROUND MODE key, to select the Listening Mode you wish to display and listen to; this will display on the T 163’s VFL Display. One can also select variations using the HTR 2 [ / ] cursor keys on the <MODE:> line of the OSD. Use the HTR 2’s [ / ] and [ / ] cursor keys to navigate among and modify that mode’s adjustable parameters (if any).
NOTE: Listening Mode parameter changes are maintained when you change listening modes. You may also save a modified Listening Mode for easy recall by saving it to a Preset (see “Using Presets”, above.)

For fully cinematic effect, always select 100PCT, the default. Settings of 75, 50, and 25PCT progressively reduce dynamic range, making soft sounds compara- tively louder while limiting the peak loudness of loud ones; the 25PCT setting will yield the least dynamic range and is best for
