Adjusting the Listening Modes
—Continued
T–D (Theater-Dimensional) Setting
LstnAngl (Listening Angle)
With this setting, you can optimize the Theater-Dimen-
sional listening mode by specifying the angle of the front
left and right speakers relative to the listening position.
Ideally, the front left and right speakers should be equi-
distant from the listening position and at an angle close
to one of the two available settings.
Narrow:
Select if the listening angle is 20 degrees.
Wide:
Select if the listening angle is 40 degrees
(default).
Multichannel Subwoofer Setting
SW InSens (TX-SR506)
On some DVD players, the signal from the multichannel
subwoofer output is 15 dB higher than normal. You can
change the subwoofer sensitivity to match your DVD
player. Note that this setting only affects signals con-
nected to the SUBWOOFER input jack of the multichan-
nel DVD input.
You can select 0 dB (default), +5 dB, +10 dB, or +15 dB.
If you find that your subwoofer is too loud, try the
+10 dB or +15 dB setting.
Note:
•For details on how to set the TX-SR576, see pages 74
and 75.
You can change various audio settings by pressing the
[AUDIO] button.

Tone Control Settings
You can adjust the bass and treble for the front speakers,
except when the Direct or Pure Audio (not North Amer-
ican models) listening mode is selected.

You can boost or cut low-frequency sounds output by the
front speakers from –10 dB to +10 dB in 2 dB steps.
Treble
You can boost or cut high-frequency sounds output by
the front speakers from –10 dB to +10 dB in 2 dB steps.
Notes:
•To bypass the bass and treble tone circuits, select the
Direct or Pure Audio (not North American model) lis-
tening mode.
This procedure can also be performed on the AV
receiver by using its [TONE], [–], and [+] buttons.
Late Night Function
Late Night
With the Late Night function, you can reduce the
dynamic range of Dolby Digital material so that you can
still hear quiet parts even when listening at low volume
levels—ideal for watching movies late at night when you
don’t want to disturb anyone.
For Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus sources, the
options are:
Off:
Late Night function off (default).
Low:
Small reduction in dynamic range.
High:
Large reduction in dynamic range.
Notes:
The Late Night function can be used only when the
input source is Dolby Digital or Dolby Digital Plus.
