Further the Subwoofer – max bass ON can be selected in the Dolby Digital and DTS mode if extra bass is required.
The Subwoofer – max bass setting will be stored in the memory bank and can therefore be set individually for each surround mode.
6.2 Inputs
Assignment of socket for each input can be selected in this menu as previously described in section 1.
6.3 Noise
If different speakers are used or the distance from the listening position to each speaker is different, the perceived sound level at the listening position from each speaker will change. By selecting the NOISE option, a noise signal is sent to each activated speaker. The noise signal will cycle around and the user should set the level for each speaker to obtain equal sound level at the listening position.
A sound pressure level meter can be used if required - use the "C" weighted setting, and hold the meter away from the body.
Exit from noise test: push “⇐ ” or “>VOL” keys.
6.4 Crossover frequency
A very useful feature is the Cross frequency setting. If a speaker is selected as small, the low frequency content is sent to the Subwoofer and/or L/R speakers. The corresponding crossover frequency is selected under the config.cross freq menu. Small surround speakers could be selected as high as 120Hz, but larger speaker should be 60Hz.
6.5 Extended Surround
In this menu you can enable DTS ES 6.1 Discrete + Matrix and DTS 6.1 Compatible. Please refer to “Surround mode” section for explanations.
6.6 Dynamic range compression
When playing in a noisy environment, it may be desirable to boost the low level signals, to be able to hear the low level signals at realistic average sound levels (e.g. the sound of the leave rustling in the wind). Further the low level boost can increase understanding of speech, especially in noisy environments.
It may also be desirable to limit the peak sound level, not to disturb neighbours at night.
The following settings are possible:
DYNAMIC HI (DTS + Dolby Digital)
High level limit: 0.0 (disable high level limit function) 0.1 0.2 0.4 0.6
1.0 (maximise high level limit function)
