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, 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 e” on page 58.)
AFDM (Auto Flag Detect Mode):
Turns the auto flag detect mode on and off. (See page 21.)
For 5-channel Dolby Digital/DTS sources:
The surround back channel play mode can be selected when the AFDM (Auto Flag Detect Mode) is set to “OFF”. The parameters that can be
selected are the same as the “Non-Flag Source SBch Output” settings.
When the AFDM (Auto Flag Detect Mode) is set to “ON”, the setting selected at “Non-Flag Source SBch Output” are displayed. (See page 21.)
If you wish to change the setting, set the AFDM (Auto Flag Detect Mode) to “OFF”.
SB CH OUT (6.1/7.1 Surround):
(1) Dolby Digital/DTS source
“OFF”....................Playback is conducted without using the surround back speaker.
“NON MTRX”........Playback is conducted using the surround back speaker.
The same signals those of the surround channels are output from the surround back channels.
“MTRX ON” ..........Playback is conducted using the surround back speaker.
Surround back chnnel is reproduced using digital matrix processing.
(2) Other source
“OFF”....................Playback is conducted without using the surround back speaker.
“ON” .....................Playback is conducted using the surround back speaker.
NOTE: This operation can be performed directly using the “6.1/7.1 Surround” button on the main unit’s panel.
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.
NOTE: The display on the screen differs depending on
whether you are performing the operation from
the main unit or the remote control unit.
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.
