6 DTS SET (DTS LFE level)

This setting is effective only when this unit decodes DTS signals.

Use this feature to adjust the output level of the LFE (low- frequency effect) channel when playing back a DTS signal. The LFE signal carries the low-frequency special effect sound which is only added to certain scenes.

Control range (dB): –10 to +10

Initial setting: 0 dB

Note

•Adjust the LFE level according to the capacity of your subwoofer.

7 SP DLY TIME (center delay)

Use this feature to adjust the delay of the center channel sound. This feature works when this unit decodes a Dolby Digital or DTS signal. Ideally, the center speaker should be the same distance from the listening position as the left and right main speakers. However, in most home situations, the center speaker is placed in line with the main speakers. By delaying the sound from the center speaker, the apparent distance from the center speaker to the listening position can be adjusted to make it seem the same as the distance between the left and right main speakers to the listening position. Adjusting the delay time for the center speaker is especially important for giving depth to the dialog.
