(CUSTOM menu)
You can use the CUSTOM menu to make
settings for the audio to suit your preference.

“Navigating through menus” (page 31) and
“Overview of the menus” (page 32).
CUSTOM menu parameters
x DUAL (Digital broadcast
language selection)
Lets you select the language you want to listen
to during digital broadcast. This feature only
functions for Dolby Digital sources.
• MAIN (Main)
Sound of the main language will be output.
• SUB (Sub)
Sound of the sub language will be output.
• MAIN/SUB (Main/Sub)
Sound of the main language will be output
through the front left speaker and sound of
the sub language will be output through the
front right speaker simultaneously.
x A/V SYNC (Synchronizes audio
with video output)
Lets you delay the audio output so that the
time gap between the audio output and visual
display is minimized. You can adjust from
OFF, 1 (10 ms) to 20 (200 ms) in 1 (10 ms)
steps.
Notes
•You may not be able to adjust the delay between
sound and image perfectly using this function.
• This function is useful only for Dolby Digital, DTS
and Linear PCM (2ch) input by optical and coaxial
audio input signals.
x AUD. DRC (Audio dynamic range
compression)
Lets you compress the dynamic range of the
sound track. This may be useful when you
want to watch movies at low volumes late at
night. Audio dynamic range compression is
possible with Dolby Digital sources only.
•DRC OFF
The audio dynamic range is not compressed.
•DRC STD
The audio dynamic range is compressed as
intended by the recording engineer.
•DRC MAX
The audio dynamic range is compressed
dramatically.
Tip
Audio dynamic range compression lets you
compress the dynamic range of the soundtrack based
on the dynamic range information included in the
Dolby Digital signal.
“DRC STD” is the standard setting, but it only
enacts light compression. Therefore, we recommend
using the “DRC MAX” setting. This greatly
compresses the dynamic range and lets you view
movies late at night at low volumes. Unlike analog
limiters, the levels are predetermined and provide a
very natural compression.
x DIMMER (Brightness of the
display)
Lets you adjust the brightness of the display.
For details, see “Changing the brightness of
the display (DIMMER)” (page 50).
x DISPLAY (Display)
Lets you turn on and off the display. For
details, see “Changing the display setting
(DISPLAY)” (page 50).
x SLEEP (Sleep timer)
Lets you set the timer to power off the receiver
automatically. For details, see “Using the
Sleep Timer (SLEEP)” (page 51).
