USING THE T 753

ADJUSTING LISTENING MODES

Several of the T 753’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 753’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.)

Dolby Pro Logic II (PLII)

PLII MOVIE is optimized for film soundtracks.

PLII MUSIC for music recordings.

DIMENSION (-3 to +3): Adjusts front-rear emphasis of the surround effect independently from the relative channel levels.

CENTER WIDTH (0 to 7): Modifies the “hard-centeredness” of the center image, by gradually mixing mono-center content to the front-left/right speakers as well; a setting of 0 retains the center-channel- only default, while a setting of 7 yields a fully phantom center channel.

PANORAMA (ON/OFF): Adds a “wraparound” effect by extending some stereo content into the surround channels.

DTS Neo : 6

Neo: 6 CINEMA is optimized for film soundtracks, Neo:6 MUSIC for music recordings.

Stereo

HDCD (stereo PCM)

Downmix

Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital EX

Enhanced-Stereo 1 (ST1)

Enhanced-Stereo 2 (ST2)

DYN. RANGE (25, 50, 75, 100PCT): You can select the effective dynamic range (subjective range from soft to loud) for playback of Dolby Digital soundtracks. 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 late-night sessions or other times when you wish to retain maximum dialog intelligibility while minimizing overall volume levels.
