Dolby Digital Settings

■Dolby EX

This setting determines how Dolby Digital EX signals are handled. This setting is unavailable if no surround back speakers are connected or the ZONE 2 SPEAKERS terminals are being used (page 82).

Auto: Dolby Digital EX can be selected from among the Dolby listening modes, and THX Surround EX can be selected from among the THX listening modes.

Manual: You can select listening modes in accordance with the table on page 61.

■Late Night

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.

Off: Late Night function off.

Low: Small reduction in dynamic range. High: Big reduction in dynamic range.

Setting Late Night with the Remote Controller:

The remote controller can be used to set the Late Night function only when the input source is Dolby Digital.

LFE Level Setting

With this setting, you can set the level of the LFE (Low Frequency Effects) channel for Dolby Digital, DTS, MCH PCM (HDMI IN), and MCH Ana (multichannel DVD input). The level can be set to –∞, –20 dB, –10 dB, or 0 dB (default).

If you find that the low-frequency effects are too loud when using one of these sources, set the level to –20 dB or –∞dB.
