Advanced Sound Control

Stereo

The Stereo mode uses the two main channel outputs from the front speakers.

DSP (Digital Sound Processor)

These digital sound effects resemble sounds in a real environment such as Arena, Jazz, Theater, Stadium and Disco. DSP automatically converts analog audio signals to digital ones which enables you to adjust the sound without degrading the sound quality. Different modes will give you different feel of size and type of listening environment. (Not available in Dolby Digital (DVD))

Night Mode

By using Dynamic Range Compression technology (pressing SHIFT and OK), you can enjoy enhanced Dolby Digital sound quality at night without interrupting your roommates or neighbors. Night Mode will compress the difference in vol- ume between normal voices and sound like explosions, while still enjoying a Dolby Digital enable component (DVD, SAT). Night Mode can be activated by pressing the SHIFT button then the OK button repeatedly until NORMAL appears on the display. While Normal is still on the display, press the LEFT or RIGHT Adjustment buttons on the remote control,around the OK button, on the remote control until you select the desired mode. Night mode can also be acti- vated by pressing the AUDIO button, then OK button repeatedly then LEFT or RIGHT Adjustment buttons. There are three modes (NORMAL, SOFT, SOFTER) for you to choose the extents of compression.

Fine Setting of the Components

The receiver has pre-selected the best surround mode for you once you turn on the unit by pressing the SOURCE Buttons (like DVD/CD, SAT) directly. The default surround modes for different components are as tabled below.
