Advanced Sound Control
Stereo
The Stereo mode uses the two main channel outputs
from the front speakers. Use this mode if you have
connected the front speakers only.
DSP (Digital Sound Processor)
These digital sound effects resemble sounds in a real
environment such as
(STADIUM / THEATER / CONCERT /
CLUB / CHURCH / ARENA)
. DSP automatically converts
analog audio signals to digital ones which enables
you to adjust the sound without degrading the sound
quality. Different modes will give you different feel of
size and type of listening environment. (Not available
in Dolby Digital/DTS)
Night Mode
By using Dynamic Range Compression technology (pressing
OK), you can enjoy enhanced Dolby Digital sound quality at
night without interrupting your roommates or neighbors.
Night Mode will compress the difference in volume
between normal voices and sound like explosions, while still
enjoying a Dolby Digital enable component (DVD, SAT).
Night Mode can be activated by pressing the OK
button repeatedly until NORMAL appears on the display.
While Normal is still on the display, press the LEFT or RIGHT
Adjustment buttons on the remote control,around the OK
button, on the remote control until you select the desired
mode. There are three modes (NORMAL, SOFT, SOFTER) for
you to choose the extents of compression.
Fine Setting of the Components
The receiver has pre-selected surround mode once
you turn on the unit by pressing the Source Buttons
(like DVD, SAT, CD) directly. The default surround
modes for different components are listed in the
table below.
If you decide to change the surround mode, you can
press the SURR MODE repeatedly to toggle among
the different surround mode choices and select the
one you want.
DOLBY PL2 MOVIE (RT2600 only)/

The receiver will keep the last selection in memory.

ting,

ume).
