Adjusting the level

(LEVEL menu)

You can use the LEVEL menu to adjust the balance and level of each speaker. These settings are applied to all sound fields. Select “1-LEVEL” in the amplifier menus. For details on adjusting the parameters, see “Navigating through menus” (page 44) and “Overview of the menus” (page 45).

LEVEL menu parameters

xT. TONE (Test tone)

Lets you adjust the speaker levels and balance while listening to the test tone from your listening position. For details, see “8: Adjusting the speaker levels and balance (TEST TONE)” (page 39).

xFRT BAL (Front speaker balance)

Lets you adjust the balance between front left and right speakers.

xCNT LVL (Center speaker level)

xSL LVL (Surround left speaker level)

xSR LVL (Surround right speaker level)

xSB LVL (Surround back speaker level)a)

xSBL LVL (Surround back left speaker level)b)

xSBR LVL (Surround back right speaker level)b)

xSW LVL (Sub woofer level)

a)You can only select this parameter when the surround back speakers are set to “SINGLE” in SYSTEM menu.

b)You can only select this parameter when the surround back speakers are set to “DUAL” in SYSTEM menu.

xD. 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. Dynamic range compression is possible with Dolby Digital sources only.

•COMP. OFF

The dynamic range is not compressed.

•COMP. STD

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

•COMP. MAX

The 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.

“COMP. STD” is the standard setting, but it only enacts light compression. Therefore, we recommend using the “COMP. 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.
