1. | CNTR (CENTER SPEAKER) | 7. | D.RNG (DYNAMIC RANGE) |
2. | REAR (REAR SPEAKERS) | 8. | DTS LFE (DTS LFE LEVEL) |
3. | MAIN (MAIN SPEAKERS) | 9. | C.DELAY (CENTER DELAY) |
4. | BASS (LFE/BASS OUT) | 10. | GUARD (MEMORY GUARD) |
5. | M.LVL (MAIN LEVEL) | 11. | INPUT (INPUT MODE) |
6.D.D.LFE
(DOLBY DIGITAL LFE LEVEL)
English
For details on “CNTR”, “REAR”, “MAIN”, “BASS” and “M.LVL”, see page 21. (Once you have selected the appropriate settings, you do not have to change any settings unless an alteration is made in your speaker system.)
D.D.LFE (Adjusting the level of the LFE channel for Dolby Digital)
Control range:
Preset value: 0 dB
*This adjustment is effective only when Dolby Digital is being decoded and the signals of the selected source encoded with Dolby Digital contain LFE signals.
This adjusts the output level of the LFE channel. If the LFE signals are mixed with signals of other channels and they are output from the same speakers, the ratio of the LFE signal level to the level of the other signals can be adjusted.
(See page 8 for details about the LFE channel.)
D.RNG (Adjusting the dynamic range)
Choices: MAX/STD/MIN
Preset position: MAX
*This adjustment is effective only when Dolby Digital is being decoded.
“Dynamic range” is the difference between the maximum level and the minimum level of sounds.
Sounds on a movie originally designed for movie theaters feature a very wide dynamic range.
Dolby Digital technology can modify the original sound track into a home audio format with this wide dynamic range un- changed.
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 be possible to increase the sound output to a level as high as that in a movie theater.
However, at the normal level suitable for listening in your room, the
Dolby Digital technology has also made it possible to reduce an original sound track’s dynamic range for a home audio format by “compressing” the sound data.
MAX: In this position, a source encoded with Dolby Digital is reproduced in the original sound track’s wide dynamic range to provide you with powerful sounds just like those in a movie theater.
Selecting this position will be even better if you can listen to a source at a high output level in a room specially soundproofed for audio/video enjoyment.
STD (Standard):
In this position, a source encoded with Dolby Digital is reproduced in the “compressed” dynamic range of the source that is suitable for
MIN: In this position, the dynamic range is more reduced than in the STD position.
Selecting this position will be effective when you must listen to a sound source at a low level.
*In this position, it may happen that sound is output faintly or not output normally depending on the source. In that case, select the MAX or STD position.
DTS LFE (Adjusting the level of the LFE channel for DTS)
Control range:
Preset value: 0 dB
*This adjustment is effective only when DTS is being decoded and the signals of the selected source encoded with DTS contain LFE signals.
This adjusts the output level of the LFE channel. If the LFE signals are mixed with signals of other channels and they are output from the same speakers, the ratio of the LFE signal level to the level of the other signals can be adjusted.
(See page 8 for details about the LFE channel.)
