Pioneer VSX-D914 Dynamic range control setting, Component video input settings, Dual mono setting

Setting up the receiver 07

• Use or to set the distance of the subwoofer from the main listening posi- tion (within the range of 0.5 ft. to 45 ft.).

•When NO is selected in the subwoofer setting, the subwoofer distance can’t be set.

Dynamic range control setting

• Default setting: OFF

Dynamic range is the difference between the loudest and softest sounds in any given signal. With this setting, you can compress the dynamic range, so that low level sounds can be heard more easily (sounding relatively louder) yet louder sounds won’t be too over- bearing.

• Use or to set the dynamic range control (OFF, MAX, or MID).

If Dolby Digital mode is switched on, you will hear the channel you have selected (either ch1 or ch2) through your center speaker. With Dolby Digital mode off, or if you don’t have a center speaker, you will hear the channel you have selected through both front speakers. In the Lch1.Rch2 setting, the left front speaker will play channel 1 and the right front speaker will play channel 2.

• Use or to cycle through the possible dual mono settings.

Component video input settings

•When listening at low volumes, set to MAX for maximum dynamic range compression.

•Dynamic range control is effective only when Dolby Digital and DTS signals are being played back.

Dual mono setting

•Default setting: ch1

The dual mono setting can only be used when listening to Dolby Digital and DTS signals with dual mono encoding. It is sometimes used when it is necessary to have one language on one channel and a different language on the other. With this setting you can choose which channel in the dual mono setting you want to listen to.

Digital input settings

Here you tell the receiver what components you have hooked up to the coaxial and optical DIGITAL IN jacks on the back of the receiver.

After you assign a component to a digital jack, whenever you select that component, (for example, a DVD player) the receiver automatically changes to the digital input setting and DIGITAL shows in the display.
