STD (Standard):

Powerful sounds of extremely wide dynamic range are not always suitable for home use. Depending upon the condition of your listening environment, it may not possible to increase the sound output level as high as a movie theater, however, in a level proper for listening to in your room, the low level parts of source sound cannot be heard as well because they will be lost among noises in your environment.

AC-3 technology also makes it possible to reduce an original sound track’s dynamic range for a home audio format by “compressing” the data.

In this position, an AC-3 source is reproduced in the “compressed” dynamic range of the source suitable for low level listening.

If you desire, you can adjust the dynamic range manually only when the STD position is selected.

nH-LEVEL CUT (High Level Cut Scale)Control range: 0.0 to 1.0 (in 0.2 step)Preset value: 1.0

Adjusts the dynamic range of high level signals of source. The larger the value, the range is more reduced. The smaller the value, the range is more widened.

nL-LEVEL BST (Low Level Boost Scale)

Control range: 0.0 to 1.0 (in 0.2 step)

Preset value: 1.0

Adjusts the dynamic range of low level signals of source. The larger the value, the range is more widened. The smaller the value, the range is more reduced.

Adjusting method

Select the title H-LEVEL CUT or L-LEVEL BST by pressing the Parameter Select or key and adjust its value by pressing the Parameter + or – key.

MIN: In this position, dynamic range is more reduced than in the STD position. Selecting this position will be effective when you must listen to a source in extremely low level.

*In this position, it may happen that sound is output faintly or not output normally depending on a source. In that case, select the MAX or STD position.

8.PARAMETER INI (Initializing parameters on a DSP program)

You can initialize all parameter settings on a DSP program. Note that a DSP program has two sub-programs; all parameters on both sub-programs are initialized by this operation.

Initializing method

After selecting this function (title) in step 2 on page 36, press the Parameter + or – key to display the DSP program numbers (1 – 12). A program number whose parameters has been changed is

marked with “”. Press a Program Select Key corresponding to the

*

program number of which parameters you want to initialize. When

initialized, the “” mark will disappear.
