Night Mode Settings
The Night mode is a feature of Dolby Digital that
uses special processing to preserve the dynamic
range and full intelligibility of a movie sound
track while reducing the peak level.This prevents
abruptly loud transitions from disturbing others,
without reducing the sonic impact of a digital
source. Note that the Night mode is only
available when the Dolby Digital surround mode
is selected.
To adjust the Night mode setting from the menu
press the OSD Button
L
so that the
MASTERmenu appears.Then press the
¤
button
D
twice and press Set
F

the SURROUNDSELECTmenu.Again

¤
button

F

Output Level Adjustment
Output level adjustment is a key part of the
configuration of any surround-sound product.It
is particularly important for a digital receiver
such as the AVR, as correct outputs ensure that
you hear sound tracks with the proper
directionality and intensity.
NOTE: Listeners are often confused about the
operation of the surround channels.While some
assume that sound should always be coming
from each speaker, most of the time there will
be little or no sound in the surround channels.
This is because they are only used when a
movie director or sound mixer specifically places
sound there to create ambience, a special effect
or to continue action from the front of the room
to the rear.When the output levels are properly
set, it is normal for surround speakers to oper-
ate only occasionally.Artificially increasing the
volume to the rear speakers may destroy the
illusion of an enveloping sound field that dupli-
cates the way
you hear sound in a movie theater
or concert hall.
