Advanced Sound Control
EN Night Mode
By using Dynamic Range Compression technology,
you can enjoy enhanced sound quality by Dolby
Digital at night without interrupting your roommates
or neighbors. While enjoying a Dolby Digital enabled
component (DVD, SAT), you can activate Night Mode
by pressing NIGHT button at the front of the receiver,
and this mode will compress the difference in volume
between normal voices and sounds like explosions.
There are two modes (SOFT, SOFTER) for you to
choose the extents of compression.
Fine Setting of the Components
Input IQ
One of the smartest features of the receiver is the
ability to pre-select the best surround mode for you
once you turn on the unit by pressing the Source
Buttons (like DVD, SAT, CD) directly. The default sur-
round modes for different components are as table
below. If you decide to change the surround mode,
you can press the SURR MODE button to change to
the mode you want.
Smart Detect
After you have connected all the optical/ coaxial wires
from your digital components (e.g. SAT, DVD), this
function can automatically detect the inputting sig-
nals and arrange the optimum settings for you. Tables
below show changes in settings as seen on display
with digital and analog inputs:
You may also change the default settings if your con-
nections are different from our recommendation (CD-
Coaxial, SAT- Optical 1 and DVD- Optical 2) by turning
off the smart detect function.
1. Press and hold TEST/ SET UP until L/R SML shows
on display.
2. Press TEST/ SET UP repeatedly until SDET ON
shows on display.
3. Rotate MULTI JOG to turn off (SDET OFF) smart
detect.
Now you can arrange your favourite settings by press-
ing SET/DEMO and then rotate MULTI JOG to select
among optical/ coaxial/ analog inputs. Your selection
will be stored automatically.
Fine Setting of the Speakers
This receiver supports a wide range of speakers and
subwoofers. For optimal surround sound enjoyment,
you need to register the speaker selection settings of
your audio system. If you buy this receiver with
accompanied speaker package, then this step has
been done for you.
Also, to make the surround sound more effective and
suit the acoustic conditions in your listening room,
you need to delay the signal from some of the speak-
ers. Such channel delay compensates for center or
surround speakers that are closer to listening position
than the front speakers. You can make use of the
TEST/ SET UP button to control the speakers such as
their relative loudness.
The TEST/ SET UP button
You can adjust the relative loudness of the individual
speakers by TEST/ SET UP button. In Dolby modes,
press the button briefly. A short noise will be heard in
the speakers one by one. The speaker having the
noise at that moment will be shown in the display.
You can listen to that speaker and rotate the MULTI
JOG to adjust the level.
Speaker Configurations
You can also change the setup of the speakers by
pressing the TEST/ SET UP button until the display
shows
L/R LRG which enables you to set the volume
size of the front speaker.
