Adjust the parameter settings.
6.1 / 7.1 Surround:
“ON”........Sets to a status in which signals can be played from Surround Back ch.
At this time the Surround Back CH OUTPUT indicator lights.
When playing Dolby Digital signals in the 6.1 Surround mode or DTS signals in the DTS-ES mode, the playback signal contents can
be switched with the “Surround Back” parameter.
“OFF”.......For both Dolby Digital and DTS signals, the normal 5.1-channel play mode is set.
NOTE: When the DTS-ES/6.1 Source Auto mode is set to “ON” and NON-Flag Source Output is set to “5 CH”, signals are only played from
Surround Back Ch when playing sources on which a special identification signal is recorded (when the SIGNAL DETECT indicator is lit).
Surround parameters q
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, Dolby Digital, DTS Surround and WIDE SCREEN 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. (See “Surround parameters w” on page 57.)
Surround Back:
When playing Dolby Digital signals in the 6.1 Surround mode or DTS signals in the DTS-ES mode, the contents of the signal played from the
Surround Back channel can be switched.
“MTRX ON”.......When playing Dolby Digital signals, the 6.1 SURROUND mode in which the same digital matrix processing is conducted and
surround back signals are created from the 2-channel surround signals (SL and SR) is set.
When playing DTS signals, the DTS-ES mode in which digital matrix processing according to algorithms specific to DTS is
conducted and the surround back signals are created is set.
“NON MTRX” ....For both Dolby Digital and DTS signals, the same signals as those of the surround channels are played from the surround
back channel. (Display – DOLBY DIGITAL or DTS SURROUND)
Operation only possible when DTS-ES/6.1 Source Auto mode set to “OFF”.
NOTE:
• When “Default” is selected and the F cursor button is pressed, “CINEMA EQ.” and “D.COMP.” are automatically turned off, “LFE” is reset,
and the tone is set to the default value.
