2 Surround parameters e
CINEMA EQ. (Cinema Equalizer):
The Cinema EQ function gently decreases the level of the
extreme high frequencies, compensating for overly-bright
sounding motion picture soundtracks. Select this function if the
sound from the front speakers is too bright.
This function only works in the Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby Digital,
DTS Surround and DTS NEO:6 modes. (The same contents are
set for all operating modes.)
D.COMP. (Dynamic Range Compression):
Motion picture soundtracks have tremendous dynamic range
(the contrast between very soft and very loud sounds). For
listening late at night, or whenever the maximum sound level is
lower than usual, the Dynamic Range Compression allows you
to hear all of the sounds in the soundtrack (but with reduced
dynamic range). (This only works when playing program
sources recorded in Dolby Digital or DTS). Select one of the
four parameters (“OFF”, “LOW”, “MID” (middle) or “HIGH”).
Set to “OFF” for normal listening.
TONE:
This enables tone control. This can be set individually for the
separate surround modes other than DIRECT mode.
LFE (Low Frequency Effect):
This sets the level of the LFE (Low Frequency Effect) sounds
included in the source when playing program sources recorded
in Dolby Digital or DTS.
If the sound produced from the subwoofer sounds distorted
due to the LFE signals when playing Dolby Digital or DTS
sources when the peak limiter is turned off with the subwoofer
peak limit level setting, adjust the level as necessary.
Program source and adjustment range:
1. Dolby Digital: –10 dB to 0 dB
2. DTS Surround: –10 dB to 0 dB
When DTS encoded movie software is played, it is
recommended that the LFE LEVEL be set to 0 dB for
correct DTS playback.
When DTS encoded music software is played, it is
recommended that the LFE LEVEL be set to –10 dB for
correct DTS playback.
2 Dialogue normalization
The dialog normalization function is activated automatically when
playing Dolby Digital program sources.
Dialog normalization is a basic function of Dolby Digital which
automatically normalizes the dialog level (standard level) of the
signals which are recorded at different levels for different
program sources, such as DVD, DTV and other future formats
that will use Dolby Digital.
These contents can be verified with the STATUS button.
OFFSET - 4dB
The number indicates the normalization level when the
currently playing program is normalized to the standard
level.
NIGHT
Night mode
When listening at night or at lower volumes, the night mode
improves listenability.
Press and hold the NIGHT button for several seconds
to enter the night mode.
• Canceling night mode:
Press and hold the NIGHT button again.
• The night mode only works when playing program sources
recorded in Dolby Digital or DTS.
