Setting the relative volume level of each channel | Pioneer S-DV303

Setting up for surround sound

Dual mono setting

• Default setting: L-CH1R-CH 2

The dual mono setting can only be used when listening to Dolby Digital discs with dual mono encoding. These discs are not widely used, but are sometimes used to seperate the backing track from the vocals on karaoke discs. With this setting you can choose which channel in the dual mono setting you want to listen to.

You will hear the channel you have selected (either CH1 or CH2) through your center speaker. If surround sound is switched off, you will hear the channel you have selected through both front speakers. In the L-CH1 R- CH 2 setting, the left front speaker will play channel 1 and the right front speaker will play channel 2.

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

LFE attenuator setting

• Default setting: 0 dB

Dolby Digital and DTS audio sources include ultra-low bass tones. Set the LFE attenuator as necessary to prevent the ultra-low bass tones from distorting the sound from the speakers.

•Use/ to set the attenuation level (0 dB, 10 dB or OFF).
