Dolby Headphone Mode Setting
Dolby Headphone processing provides a surround-sound effect through ordi-
nary headphones. Three different Dolby Headphone modes are available. DH1
simulates the acoustically controlled environment of a recording studio control
room. DH2 simulates the sound of a typical living room. DH3 simulates the
reverberance of a large concert hall. You can use any mode you like; for most
material, DH2 will provide the most realistic experience. You can also set the
headphone output to STEREO to turn off the Dolby Headphone effect.
To set Dolby Headphone mode:
1. From the Surround Config menu, press or to move the on-screen
arrow to HP MODE.
2. Press or to select STEREO, DH1, DH2, or DH3.
3. If you want to adjust other surround-sound parameters, press or

2-Channel Subwoofer Offset
Some listeners find that after they have properly calibrated the levels of their
surround-sound system, the subwoofer sounds too loud when they play music.
The Model 990 allows you to reduce the subwoofer level automatically when
the unit is playing in 2-channel stereo. The level reduction can be as great
as -8 decibels.
There is no “by the book” or “proper” way to set this control; you simply adjust
it to your taste. Play some music you like, set the Model 990 for stereo playback,
and adjust the Subwoofer Offset until it sounds good to you.
To adjust 2-Channel Subwoofer Offset:
1. From the Surround Config menu, press or to move the on-screen
arrow to 2CH SUB OFFSET.
2. Press or to adjust the offset, from 0dB (no offset) to –8dB
(maximum offset).
3. If you want to adjust other surround-sound parameters, press or
to move the on-screen arrow to the desired item. Otherwise, press
or to move the on-screen arrow to RETURN TO MAIN MENU,
then press SET. Or simply hit the MENU button to return to your
program.
