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
IIx, Dolby
Pro Logic, Dolby Digital, DTS Surround, DTS NEO:6 and
WIDE SCREEN 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 “HI” (high)). Set to
OFF for normal listening.
This parameter is displayed only when playing compatible
sources in DTS mode.
