Note

•Do not assign the component connected with the HDMI input to the TV/CD selector when you set “TV Control” setting to “On”. Otherwise, appropriate CEC (Consumer Electronics Con- trol) operation is not guaranteed.

•Set to “Off” when the TV is not compatible or when it is unclear whether the TV is compatible or not.

•The “TV Control” setting can be set only when the above

“HDMI Control” and “Power Control” settings are both set to “On”.

•Refer to the connected component’s instruction manual for details.

After changing the settings of the “HDMI Control”, “Audio Return Ch”, “Power Control”, or “TV Con- trol”, turn off the power to all connected pieces of equipment and then turn them on again. Refer to the User’s Manuals for all connected pieces of equipment.

En

Speaker Levels

You can adjust the volume of each speaker while listening to an input source.

These temporary adjustments are cancelled when the AV receiver is set to Standby. To save the setting you made here, go to “Level Cal (Level Calibration)” (➔ 31) before setting the AV receiver to Standby.

•Speakers that are set to “No” or “None” in the “Sp Config (Speaker Configuration)” (➔ 30) cannot be adjusted.

Late Night Function

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

For Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus sources, the options are:

`Off:

Late Night function off.

`Low:

Small reduction in dynamic range.

`High:

Large reduction in dynamic range.

For Dolby TrueHD sources, the options are:

`Auto:

The Late Night function is set to “On” or “Off” automatically.

`Off:

Late Night function off.

`On:

Note

•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 can be used only when the input source is Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, or Dolby TrueHD.

•The Late Night function is set to “Off” when the AV receiver is set to Standby. For Dolby TrueHD sources, it will be set to “Auto”.
