CUSTOM menu parameters

xDUAL (Digital broadcast

language selection)

Lets you select the language you want to listen

to during digital broadcast. This feature only

functions for Dolby Digital sources.

•MAIN (Main)

Sound of the main language will be output.

•SUB (Sub)

Sound of the sub language will be output.

• MAIN/SUB (Main/Sub)

Sound of the main language will be output

through the front left speaker and sound of

the sub language will be output through the

front right speaker simultaneously.

xA/V SYNC (Synchronizes audio

with video output)

Lets you delay the audio output so that the

time gap between the audio output and visual

display is minimized. You can adjust from

OFF, 1 (10 ms) to 20 (200 ms) in 1 (10 ms)

steps.

Notes

• You may not be able to adjust the delay between

sound and image perfectly using this function.

• This function is useful only for Dolby Digital, DTS

and Linear PCM (2ch) input by optical and coaxial

audio input signals.

xAUD. DRC (Audio dynamic range

compression)

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. Audio dynamic range compression is

possible with Dolby Digital sources only.

• DRC OFF

The audio dynamic range is not compressed.

• DRC STD

The audio dynamic range is compressed as

intended by the recording engineer.

• DRC MAX

The audio dynamic range is compressed

dramatically.

Tip

Audio dynamic range compression lets you

compress the dynamic range of the sound track

based on the dynamic range information included in

the Dolby Digital signal.

“DRC STD” is the standard setting, but it only

enacts light compression. Therefore, we recommend

using the “DRC 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.

xDIMMER (Brightness of the

display)

Lets you adjust the brightness of the display.

For details, see “Changing the brightness of

the display (DIMMER)” (page 51).

xDISPLAY (Display)

Lets you turn on and off the display. For

details, see “Changing the display setting

(DISPLAY)” (page 51).

xSLEEP (Sleep timer)

Lets you set the timer to power off the receiver

automatically. For details, see “Using the

Sleep Timer (SLEEP)” (page 52).
