Adjustments and Settings
Adjusting the Speaker Levels <LEVEL>
pDynamic range compressor
D. RANGE COMP STD
Initial setting : OFF
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 reproduces the sound track with no compression.
•STD reproduces the sound track with the dynamic range intended by the recording engineer.
•0.1 ~ 0.9 allow you to compress the dynamic range in small steps to achieve the sound you desire.
•MAX provides a dramatic compression of the dynamic range.
Note
Dynamic range compression is not possible with DTS or MPEG sources.
zAbout the Dynamic Range Compressor
This parameter allows 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 allows you to view movies late at night at low volumes. Unlike analog limiters, the levels are predetermined and provide a very natural compression.
pDigital dialog trim adjustment
DIALOG TRIM +X.XdB
Initial setting : 0 dB
Lets you adjust the output of the center speaker. Increase this parameter if you are having trouble hearing the dialog. If you did not install a center speaker, this parameter adjusts the level of the center channel as it is mixed with the sound of the front speakers.
pDigital surround trim adjustment
SURR TRIM +X.XdB
Initial setting : 0 dB
Lets you adjust the output of the rear speakers. Increase this parameter if you feel that the surround effects are too subtle. If you did not install rear speakers, this parameter adjusts the level of the rear channels as they are mixed with the sound of the front speakers.
pMuting
MUTING [OFF]
Initial setting : off
Lets you mute the sound (same as MUTING on the remote control).
•ON to mutes the sound from all speakers.
•OFF restores the sound to the original volume.
pVolume
VOLUME
Initial setting : 0 dB
Lets you adjust the master volume. (Same as the MASTER VOLUME control on the front panel.)
