Dialogue Normalization
The dialogue normalization function is activated automatically when playing Dolby Digital program sources.
Dialogue 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.

Surround parameters
CINEMA EQ. (Cinema Equalizer}:
The Cinema EQ function gently decreases the level of the extreme high frequencies, compensating for ovedy-bdght 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, DTS NEQ:6 and WIDE SCREEN modes (The same contents are set for
all operating modes)
D.COMR )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 "HI" (high)) Set to OFF for normal listening.
LFE (Low Frequency Effect}:
This sets the level of the LFE (Low Frequency Effect) sot_nds included in the source when playing program sot_rces recorded in Dolby Digital or DTS
If the sound produced from the subwoofer sounds distorted due to the LEE signals when playing Dolby Digital or DTS sources when the peak limiter is
turned off with the subwoofer peak limit level setting (system setup menu), adjust the level as necessary
Program source and adjustment range:
1. Dolby Digital: -10 dB to OdB
2. DTS Surround: -10 dB to 0 dB
