cator lights up on the display.
•
If you have set the surround speaker parameter for the speaker
setup (see page 14) to “NO,” STEREO or 3 STEREO will be
selected for Surround mode. Only the “STEREO” setting is
available if you have set both surround speaker and center
speaker parameters to “NO”.

Follow the steps below to adjust the speaker volume to the
desired level:
1. Press the CHSEL button to select a speaker.
2. Press the LEVEL π/† buttons to adjust the level.
You can adjust the level in the range of –12dB to +12dB.
If you adjust the level to +1dB or higher, the overall volume
level will not reach the maximum level when you set the MAS-
TER VOLUME control to its maximum. Refer to the Note on
page 16 for more information.
When you turn off the power, the level will be reset to the origi-
nal level (the value you set using the test tone).
When you press the TEST TONE button after you set the level,
the current level will be used as the value set via the test tone.
Midnight Theater
If you play a movie at a low volume at night, set this parameter to “ON”
to narrow the dynamic range of the sound to make it easier to hear.
The Midnight Theater function works only with source material
that contains necessary Dolby Digital information.
Press the MIDNIGHT THEATER button during Dolby Digital
playback. The MIDNIGHT THEATER indicator appears on the
display. To cancel the MIDNIGHT THEATER function, press the
MIDNIGHT THEATER button again.

The Midnight Theater function is available only in Dolby Digi-
tal Surround mode.
•
When you turn off the power, the MIDNIGHT THEATER func-
tion will be turned off.
Cinema Re-Equalization
Re-Equalization takes the edginess or “brightness” out of your
home cinema sound, compensating for the fact that sound mixed
for theaters will sound too bright when played back through speak-
ers in the home environment.
Press the Re-EQ button, the Cinema Re-Equalizer indicator
appears on the display. To cancel the Re-EQ function, press the Re-
EQ button again.
•
The Cinema Re-EQ function is available only in Dolby Digital
and Dolby Pro Logic Surround and Multi channel input modes.
LFE (Low Frequency Effect) Level Attenuation
If the bass range is too loud, set this parameter to “–10 dB” to
decrease the Low Frequency Effect in the low-frequency channel
by 10 dB.
Use the Speaker Setup procedure described on page 14 to
switch the LFE level between 0dB and –10dB.
•
The LFE Level Attenuation function is available only in Dolby
Digital Surround mode.
