Bass adjustment

The level of low frequencies from the front speakers can be adjusted in 2 dB steps in the range between –12 dB and +12 dB.

Treble adjustment

The level of high frequencies from the front speakers can be adjusted in 2 dB steps in the range between –12 dB and +12 dB.

Late night function

The late night function operates when the sound is Dolby Digital surround.

Cinema sound has a vast dynamic range; therefore, to hear the quieter sounds such as human conversations, they must be played back at larger volumes. When this function is set to on, the dynamic range of the sound is narrowed down to allow you to easily hear minute sounds at low volumes. This function is especially useful if you wish to play a movie at low volumes during the nighttime.

Late Night = On: Activate late night function

Late Night = Off: De-activate late night function

Notes

•The late night effect is determined by each Dolby Digital sound source. Some sources may produce little or no effect.

•If you turn off the unit and turn it on again, the late night function is set to “Late Night = Off”.

Cinema filter function

Cinema filter takes the edginess or “brightness” out of your home cinema sound to compensate for the fact that sound mixed for theaters may sound too bright when played back through speakers in the home environment.

This parameter is enabled for PL II Movie, Dolby Digital or DTS listening mode.

Cine Fltr = On: Activate cinema filter function

Cine Fltr = Off: De-activate cinema filter function

Cinema Filter and Late Night can also be adjusted from the remote control.

Press the CINE FLTR or LATE NIGHT button to display the current setting (On or Off). To change the current setting, press the same button again.
