Philips DR500 manual Setting the Dynamic Range

Setting the Dynamic Range

The DR500 Receiver is shipped with all 120 channels set at full CD-quality (90 dB dynamic range). To meet your individual music needs, you have the capability of setting a different dynamic range for up to 10 channels, or setting all channels to a global dynamic range default. Changing the dynamic range setting may provide a more uniform volume, or loudness, throughout your musical program. To set the dynamic range for a channel:

1.Tune to the desired channel.

2.Press:

PRESET 9 1 0

The front panel flashes the current dynamic range code for this channel. The range codes are:

Front Panel	Remote Control	Dynamic Range
Code	Code	Settings
00	00	Full CD-quality (90 dB)
01	01	80 dB range
02	02	60 dB range
03	03	40 dB range

3.Enter the dynamic range code. Press the appropriate number (or use the TUNEÙ and TUNEÚ buttons to make your selection), then press STORE.

# STORE

If there are less than 10 Dynamic Range settings programmed, the new setting will be stored in memory. The DR500 will automatically implement the selected dynamic range when the specified channel is tuned. If you have exceeded the 10-channel maximum, the DR500 front panel displays FUL indicating the memory is full. When FUL displays, the DR500 memory must be completely cleared before additional Dynamic Range settings can be entered. Refer to Clearing the Dynamic Range for this procedure. Pressing PRESET while entering a Dynamic Range code exits the procedure and returns the display to the current channel.

Dynamic range settings specified for individual channels will override, or take precedence over, global dynamic range default settings.
