PLIIz Height Gain
The Height Gain Control in Dolby Pro Logic IIz
enables the listener to select how much gain is applied
to the front high speakers. There are three settings,
Low”, “Mid” and “High”, and the front high speakers
are accentuated in that order. While “Mid” is the default
listening setting, the listener may adjust the Height Gain
Control to their personal preference.

Dolby Volume

Dolby Volume off.
`On:
Dolby Volume on.
The (Dolby) Vol indicator will light ( 9).
Dolby Volume automatically adjusts the difference in vol-
ume levels which can occur between different content or
source components, freeing the user from having to make
volume adjustments. Also, by adjusting the frequency bal-
ance according to the playback volume, it recreates the
original source audio. Dolby Volume therefore provides
comfortable listening, effectively controlling the volume
level difference without unnatural changes in volume or
sound quality to recreate the balance and nuance of the
source audio.
Note
When the “Dolby Volume” setting is set to effective,
Audyssey Dynamic EQ
®
and Audyssey Dynamic Volume
®
will
be set to “Off” and “Equalizer” setting will be set to “Off” from
Audyssey” or remain set to “Manual”.
If you would like to use Dolby Volume in THX listening modes,
set “Loudness Plus” setting to “Off” and set “Preserve THX
Settings” setting to “No”.

tion cannot be set.

`Mid:
Medium Compression Mode becomes active.
`High
:
High Compression Mode becomes active. This set-
ting affects volume the most, causing all sounds to
be of equal loudness.
Volume Leveler” maintains the perceived loudness of all
content for example, from different channels or input
sources.
Note
•If theDolby Volume” setting is set to “Off”, this setting cannot
be selected.
Half Mode
`Off:
Half Mode off.
`On
:
Half Mode on.
The Half Mode parameter turns Dolby Volume Half Mode
processing ON and OFF.
In OFF mode, Dolby Volume applies a bass and treble
attenuation to the audio when the system gain exceeds ref-
erence level. This enables a more perceptually flat listen-
ing experience as human ears are more sensitive to bass
and treble at higher levels. Some listeners however, prefer
to have more bass and treble performance at higher gain
levels.
Note
•If theDolby Volume” setting is set to “Off”, this setting cannot
be selected.
During Half Mode ON playback, Dolby Volume does not apply
a bass and treble attenuation when the system volume exceeds
reference level thereby boosting perception of high and low fre-
quencies.

`0 to 2
to 5
The DTS Neo:6 Music listening mode creates 6-channel
surround sound from 2-channel stereo sources. With
this setting, you can specify by how much the front left
and right channel output is attenuated in order to create
the center channel.
Setting a value “0” in the middle is set to hear a sound.
Sound is spread in left and right (the outside) so that the
set value is made big. Please adjust by liking.
