Customizing sound fields (continued)

Low Frequency Effect (L.F.E. XXX 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.

•“0 dB” outputs the full LFE signal at the mix level determined by the recording engineer.

•To mute the sound of the LFE channel from the sub woofer, select “OFF”. However, 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 in the speaker setup (pages 14–15).

Dynamic range compressor (D. RANGE COMP. XXX)

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. We recommend using the “MAX” setting.

•To reproduce the sound track with no compression, select “OFF”.

•To reproduce the sound track with the dynamic range intended by the recording engineer, select “STD”.

•To compress the dynamic range in small steps to achieve the sound you desire, select “0.1”– “0.9”.

•To reproduce a dramatic compression of the dynamic range, select “MAX”.

Effect level (EFFECT)

Lets you adjust the “presence” of the current surround effect.
