[]When selecting the "D.VOL (Dolby Volume)"

. Dolby Volume is an intelligent system that improves the perceived audio frequency response at lower listening levels and corrects for volume inconsistencies between sources (e.g. a jazz radio station and a DVD) and between programming (e. g. a TV show and advertisement breaks).

OFF (Default value) : To turn off the Dolby Volume function. (The DOLBY VOLUME indicator goes off.)

ON : To turn it on. (The DOLBY VOLUME indicator lights up.)

. If the Dolby Volume is set to ON, it will be automatically turns on the Volume Modeler that maintains the same perceived listening experience as the reference level experience.

[]Note :

. If the Dolby Volume is changed to OFF, the volume level may be increased high.

OWhen the Dolby VoJume is set to ON

(t_. Press the ENTER button to enter the Dolby Volume setup.

. Then "LVL (Volume Leveler)" is displayed for several seconds

(2b. Press the CURSOR UP/DOWN buttons to select the desired parameter.

. Each time these buttons are pressed, the parameter mode changes as follows :

(Volume Leveler) (Volume Leveler Amount C

i "LVL" _ "AMOUNT'

"C/O" _ M/S _ HALF

(Calibration Offset) (Mid/Side mode) (Half mode)

G_. Press the CURSOR LEFT/RIGHT buttons to adjust the selected parameter as desired.

OWhen selecting the "LVL" (Volume Leveler)

. The Volume Leveler maintains the perceived loudness of all content for example, from different channels or input sources. OFF : To turn off the Volume Leveler function.

$

ON (default value): To turn it on.

[]Note :

. If Volume Leveler is turned off, no level matching between sources and program material is performed. This is not the same as turning Dolby Volume off as volume related frequency response processing is still active.

@When seJecting the "AMOUNT" (VoJume Leveler Amount ControJ)

The Volume Leveler Amount adjusts the amount of leveling applied by the Volume Leveler

. The control can be set in 11 steps from 0 to 10 (default value : 9)

OWhen selecting the "HALF" (Half mode)

If the Half mode is set to ON, the Volume Modeler does not apply volume contour gains for playback levels higher than reference level; just the volume setting, as a flat spectrum gain, is applied.

OFF (default value) : To turn off the Half mode.

$

ON : To turn it on.

OWhen selecting the "M/S" (Mid/Side mode)

The Mid/Side processing can improve stability of some stereo material.

OFF (default value) : To turn off the Mid/Side mode.

$

ON : To turn it on.

OWhen seJecting the "C/O" (Calibration Offset)

The Calibration Offset allows you to compensate for speaker efficiencies and listening position

. The control can be set from -15 to +15 dB (default value : 0 dB) and this should normally produce a good result when you set the speaker levels on this receiver using a SPL (Sound Pressure Level) meter
