xL.F.E. XXX.X dB

(LFE (Low Frequency Effect) mix level)

Initial setting: 0 dB

Lets you attenuate the level of the LFE (Low Frequency Effect) channel output from the sub woofer without effecting the level of the bass frequencies sent to the sub woofer from the front, center or surround channels via the Dolby Digital or DTS bass redirection circuitry. You can adjust from –20 dB to 0 dB (line level) in 0.5 dB steps. “0 dB” outputs the full LFE signal at the mix level determined by the recording engineer. When set to “OFF”, the sound of the LFE channel from the sub woofer is muted. In this case, the low frequency sounds of the front, center, or surround speakers are output from the sub woofer according to the settings made for each speaker (pages 21–22).

xCOMP. (D.RANGE)

(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.

•OFF

The dynamic range is not compressed.

•0.1–0.9

The dynamic range is compressed in small steps to achieve the sound you desire.

•STD

The dynamic range is compressed as intended by the recording engineer.

•MAX

The dynamic range is compressed dramatically.

Tip

Dynamic range compressor lets you to compress the dynamic range of the soundtrack based on the dynamic range information included in the Dolby Digital signal. “STD” is standard compression, but because many sources have only light compression, you may not notice much difference when using 0.1– 0.9.

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.
