Dual mono setting
The dual mono setting can only be used when listening to
Dolby Digital discs that have dual mono software encoded
in them. As of now these are not that widely used. With
this setting you can choose which channel in the dual
mono setting you want to listen to. Thus, it is useful for
soundtracks that have one language on one channel and a
different language on the other. Remember you can only
use this setting if you have Dolby Digital software with this
feature and want to isolate one of the channels therein.
There are two different ways to route the sound in the dual
mono setting, one is with Dolby Digital mode on, the other
with Dolby Digital mode off. If Dolby Digital mode is
switched on, the ch1 setting will play channel 1 through
your center speaker. The ch2 setting will play channel 2
through your center speaker. With Dolby Digital mode off,
the dual mono sound routing is as follows: In the
ch1
setting your will hear channel 1 out of both front speakers.
In the ch2 setting you will hear channel 2 out of both
speakers. In the
L. c1 R. c2 setting the speakers will play
the soundtrack independently of each other. The left front
speaker will play channel 1 and the right front speaker will
play channel 2.
Press % or fi to cycle through the possible
DUAL MONO settings.

Dynamic range control setting mode
Dynamic range is the difference between the loudest and
softest sounds in any given signal. The dynamic range
control helps you play back sounds so the quieter sounds
are audible yet the louder sounds don’t get distorted. It
does this by compressing the dynamic range. When
watching a movie at low volume, setting this function
enables low level sounds to be heard more easily but you
won’t be jolted by louder sounds.
Press % or fi to set the dynamic range control
(OFF, MAX, or MID).
MEMO:
• The initial setting is “OFF”.
• When the volume level is increased, set to OFF.
• For listening enjoyment at low volumes, set to “MAX”
for maximum dynamic range compression.
• Dynamic range control is effective only when a Dolby
Digital signal is being played back.
