The choice of modes will vary according to the speaker
configuration in your system. When the
SURR
BACK
line of the SPEAKER SETUP menu
(Figure 7) is set to
NONE the DPR 1005 will be
configured for 5.1-channel operation, and only the
modes appropriate to a five-speaker system will
appear. When the
SURR BACK line of the
SPEAKER SETUP menu (Figure 7) is set to
SMALL or LARGE, the DPR 1005 will be con-
figured for 6.1/7.1-channel operation, and additional
modes such as Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Pro Logic IIx
and DTS-ES will appear, as they are only available
when seven main speakers are present. In addition,
some of the modes available in the DPR 1005 will not
appear unless a digital source is selected and is play-
ing the correct bitstream.
To select the mode that will be used as the initial default
for an input, first press the

o until the on-screen cursor is next to the desired
mode’s master category name, such as
DOLBY

VMAx. Next, press the Set Button q to view the
submenu. Press the

Navigation Button o to
scroll through the available choices, and then press the

Navigation Button o so that the cursor is next
to
BACK TO MASTER MENU to continue
the setup process.
The following paragraphs detail the instructions needed
for modes with multiple choices.
On the
DOLBY SURROUND menu (Fig. 5),
choices include Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby
Pro Logic IIx, Movie and Music, Dolby Pro Logic and
Dolby Virtual Speaker Reference or Wide. For a
complete descripton of the different Dolby Surround
modes, see page 32. The Dolby Digital EX and Dolby
Pro Logic IIx modes are only available when the
system is set for 6.1/7.1 operation by configuring
the Surround Back speakers to “Small” or “Large” as
described on page 24. When a disc is playing with a
Dolby Digital soundtrack that contains a special “flag”
signal in the data stream, the Dolby Digital EX mode
will be selected automatically. It may also be selected
using this menu or through the front-panel or remote
controls as shown on page 31. A complete explana-
tion of these modes is found on page 32.

Navigation Buttons o to select the
desired Dolby surround mode, again remembering that
the choice of available modes will vary with the type of
program material being played and the number of
speakers in your system configuratioin.
When Dolby Pro Logic II Music or Dolby Pro Logic IIx
Music is selected as the listening mode, three special
settings are available to tailor the sound field to your
listening room environment and your individual taste
and preferences. (When other Dolby Surround modes
are selected, dotted lines will indicate that these set-
tings are not active.)
• Center Width: This setting adjusts the balance of the
vocal information in the front soundstage between
the center and front left/right speakers. The lower
settings spread the center channel sound more
broadly into the left and right channels. A higher
number (up to “7”) produces a tighter center chan-
nel presentatioin.
• Dimension: This setting alters the perceived depth
of the surround field by creating a shallower presen-
tation that appears to move sounds toward the front
of the room, or a deeper presentation that appears
to move the center of the sound field toward the
back of the room. The setting of “O” is a neutral
default, with the range of adjustment shown as
“R-3” for a deeper, rear-oriented sound to “F-3”
for a shallower, front-oriented sound.
• Panorama: Switch this setting on or off to add an
enveloping wrap-around presentation that increases
the perception of sound along the sides of the room.
To change these parameters, press the

your taste.
When the DOLBY DIGITAL mode is
selected,
there are additional settings available for
the Night mode, as shown in Figure 6.
Figure 6
The Night mode is a feature of Dolby Digital that pre-
serves the dynamic range and full intelligibility of a
movie soundtrack while reducing the peak level. This
prevents abruptly loud transitions from disturbing oth-
ers, without reducing the sonic impact of a digital
source. The Night mode is only available when specially
encoded Dolby Digital signals are played.
To adjust the Night mode setting, make certain that the
➔ cursor is on the NIGHT line of the DOLBY
menu. Next, press
‹

›
Navigation Button o to
choose between the following settings, as they appear
in the on-screen display:
OFF:When OFF is highlighted, the Night mode
will not function.
MID:When MID is highlighted, a mild compres-
sion will be applied.
MAX:When MAX is highlighted, a more severe
compression algorithm will be applied.
We recommend that you select the
MID setting as
a starting point and change to the
MAX setting later,
if desired.
The Night mode may also be adjusted directly any
time a Dolby Digital source is playing by pressing
the
Night Mode Button T. When the button is
pressed,
D-RANGE will appear in the lower third
of the video screen and in the
Lower Display Line
