Advanced sound settings
This chapter covers advanced settings to further optimize the sound of your system.
LFE attenuator
The LFE (low frequency effects) channel carries ultra low bass sound to add weight to effects in Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks. This channel can overload the subwoofer resulting in distortion. Use the LFE attenua- tor setting to reduce the signal fed to the subwoofer.

Dynamic Range Control
The dynamic range of a source is the difference between the quietest and the loudest sounds. The dynamic range of Dolby Digital soundtracks can be very great. This makes them exciting, but it also means that when you turn the volume down you can easily lose quiet dialog. Switch on Dynamic Range Control to even out the soundtrack volume.

•D.R.C. MID – mid setting
•D.R.C. HIGH – the dynamic range is reduced by a large amount (good for listening at very low volume).
