Adjusting the Listening Modes—Continued

Speaker Levels

You can adjust the volume of each speaker while listen- ing to an input source.

These temporary adjustments are cancelled when the AV receiver is set to Standby.

■Subwoofer

You can adjust the level from –15 dB to +12 dB.

■Center

You can adjust the level from –12 dB to +12 dB.

Notes:

•You cannot use this function while the AV receiver is muted.

•Speakers that are set to No or None in the Speaker Configuration cannot be adjusted (see page 59).

A/V Sync

■A/V Sync

When using progressive scanning on your DVD player, you may find that the picture and sound are out of sync. With this setting, you can correct this by delaying the audio signals. You can set it from 0 to 100 milliseconds (ms) in 20 millisecond steps.

Note:

•This setting is not available when the Pure Audio lis- tening mode is used, or the Direct listening mode is used with an analog input signal.

Using the Late Night Function (Dolby Digital only)

With the Late Night function, you can reduce the dynamic range of Dolby Digital material so that you can still hear quiet parts even when listening at low volume levels—ideal for watching movies late at night when you don’t want to disturb anyone.

LATE NIGHT	Press the [LATE NIGHT] button
	repeatedly to select.
	Off: Late Night function off
	(default).
	Low: Small reduction in dynamic
	range.
	High: Large reduction in dynamic
	range.

Notes:

•The Late Night function can be used only when the input source is Dolby Digital.

•The effect of the Late Night function depends on the material that you are playing and the intention of the original sound designer, and with some material there will be little or no effect when you select the different options.

•The Late Night function is set to Off when the AV receiver is set to Standby.

Using the CinemaFILTER

With the CinemaFILTER, you can soften overly bright movie soundtracks, which are typically mixed for repro- duction in a movie theater.

CinemaFILTER can be used with the following listening modes: Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II Movie, Dolby Pro Logic Movie, DTS, DTS Neo:6 Cinema, DTS 96/24, and Neo:6.

CINEMA	Press the [CINEMA FILTER] but-
FILTER	ton repeatedly to select.
	Off: CinemaFILTER off.
	On: CinemaFILTER on.

Note:

• The CinemaFILTER may not work when used with certain input sources.
