Adjusting the dynamic range

You can set the dynamic range for playing a source with Dolby Digital decoded. This is especially effective for low-volume listening. Select the D-RANGEtab at the bottom of the Main Panel. The following screen appears.

11 Dynamic range setting

Select the dynamic range for playing a source with Dolby Digital decoded from MIN, STANDARD, and MAX. The MAX setting provides a dynamic range of a movie theater while MIN provides a dynamic range suitable for late night, low-volume listening.

2 Dynamic range adjustment

This setting becomes available when you choose STANDARD for the dynamic range. This adjusts high- level cut scale (H-LEVELCut) and low-level boost scale

2(L-LEVELBST), allowing you to freely adjust the dynamic range between MAX and MIN.

Operating the graphic equalizer

The 7-band graphic equalizer allows you to set the frequency characteristics according to the type of the music that is played and to compensate for the room characteristics and the speakers’ frequency characteristics. The graphic equalizer effect is only applied to the left and right front channels.

This panel is always shown when no DSP sound field program is selected. When a DSP sound field program is selected, selecting the EQUALIZER tab at the bottom of the Main Panel will show this panel.
