DOLBY DIGITAL AND PREFERENCES SETUP
DOLBY DIGITAL SETUP
Dual Mono Setting
Path: Main Page ➞ Dolby Digital
Setup ➞ Dual Mono
Default Setting: STEREO
Some (rare) Dolby Digital DVDs may
be recorded with Dual Mono pro-
gram, i.e. different programs on left
and right front channels. With them
the following options can be selected
in the Dolby Digital Setup menu:
• STEREO: Reproduces both channels
as stereo.
• LEFT MONO: Reproduces left
channel in front left and right
speakers.
• RIGHT MONO: Reproduces right
channel in front left and right
speakers.
• MIXED MONO: Reproduces both
channels mixed together.
Dynamic Range Setting
Path: Main Page➞Dolby Digital
Setup➞Dynamic
Default Setting: FULL
In some listening situations, it may be
inconvenient to allow the sound to
become very loud, such as late at
night. The Dolby Digital Setup menu
offers the facility to compress the
dynamic range of the soundtrack so
that the loudest sounds become
quieter, while the low-level detail and
content of quiet passages is retained.
Select dynamic range compression to
fit your individual listening situation.
The variable range is from FULL, 7/8
to 1/8, or OFF.
• OFF: Audio with uncompressed
dynamic range.
• 7/8~1/8: Audio with partially
compressed dynamic range.
• FULL: Audio with fully compressed
dynamic range.
Note
• The Dual Mono and Dynamic Range
settings can only be used with
Dolby Digital programs.
