2 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.
The number indicates the normalization level when the currently playing program is normalized to
the standard level.

Surround parameters w
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 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 “HI” (high)). Set to OFF for normal listening.
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 (system setup menu), 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.
TONE:
This adjusts the tone control. This can be set individually for the separate shroud mode other than Direct mode.
SB CH OUT (Surround Back):

“OFF”..................Playback is conducted without using the surround back speaker.
“NON MTRX”......The same signals those of the surround channels are output from the surround back channels.
“MTRX ON” ........Surround back channel is reproduced using digital matrix processing.
“ES MTRX” .........When playing DTS signals, the surround back signals undergo digital matrix processing for playback.
“ES DSCRT”........When a signal identifying the source as a discrete 6.1-channel source is included in the DTS signals, the surround back
signals included in the source are played.
“PL
IIx Music” ....Processing is performed with the Music mode of the PL IIx decoder and the Surround Back channel is reproduced.
(2) (2ch source)
“OFF”..................Playback is conducted without using the surround back speaker.
