XXX dB (Sub woofer level)Initial setting: 0 dBYou can adjust from –10 dB to +10 dB in 1 dB steps.x D.RANGE COMP. XXX (Dynamic range compressor)

Lets you compress the dynamic range of the sound track. This may be useful when you want to watch movies at low volumes late at night.

•OFFThe dynamic range is not compressed.•STDThe dynamic range is compressed as intended by the recording engineer.•MAXThe dynamic range is compressed dramatically.

Tip

Dynamic range compressor lets you compress the dynamic range of the soundtrack based on the dynamic range information included in the Dolby Digital signal. “STD” is the standard setting, but it only enacts light compression. Therefore, we recommend using the “MAX” setting. This greatly compresses the dynamic range and lets you view movies late at night at low volumes. Unlike analog limiters, the levels are predetermined and provide a very natural compression.

Note

Dynamic range compression is possible with Dolby Digital sources only.xEFCT. XXX (Effect level)Initial setting: STD

Lets you adjust the “presence” of the surround effect in 3 levels – MIN (minimum effect), STD (standard effect) and MAX (maximum effect).

Note

This parameter is valid only when you use a sound field selected with the MOVIE or MUSIC buttons.

Resetting sound fields to the initial settingsUse the buttons on the receiver for the operation.1 Press ?/1 to turn off the power.2 While holding down 2CH, press?/1.

“SF. CLR.” appears in the display and all sound fields are reset to the initial setting.
