7. D.RNG (Adjusting dynamic range)
Choices: MAX/STD/MIN
Preset position: MAX
* This adjustment is effective only when the Dolby Digital is
decoded.
MAX: “Dynamic range” is the difference between the
maximum level and the minimum level of sounds.
Sounds on a movie originally designed for movie
theaters feature very wide dynamic range.
Dolby Digital technology can bring the original sound
track into a home audio format with this wide
dynamic range unchanged.
In this position, a source encoded with the Dolby
Digital is reproduced in the original sound track’s
wide dynamic range providing you with powerful
sounds just like in a movie theater.
Selecting this position will be even better if you can
listen to a source in a high output level in a room
specially soundproofed for audio/video enjoyment.
STD (Standard):
Powerful sounds of extremely wide dynamic range
are not always suitable for home use. Depending
upon the condition of your listening environment, it
may not be possible to increase the sound output
level as high as a movie theater. However, in a level
suitable for listening to in your room, the low level
parts of source sound often cannot be heard so well
because they will be lost among noises in your
environment.
Dolby Digital technology also made it possible to
reduce an original sound track’s dynamic range for a
home audio format by “compressing” the data of
sound.
In this position, a source encoded with the Dolby
Digital is reproduced in the “compressed” dynamic
range of the source suitable for low level listening.
MIN: In this position, dynamic range is more reduced than
in the STD position.
Selecting this position will be effective when you
must listen to a source at lower level.
ADJUSTMENTS IN THE “SET MENU” MODE
The following ten types of functions maximize the performance of your system and expand your enjoyment for audio listening and
video watching.
1. CNTR (CENTER SPEAKER)
2. REAR (REAR SPEAKER)
3. MAIN (MAIN SPEAKER)
4. BASS (LFE/BASS OUT)
5. M.LVL (MAIN LEVEL)
For details on “1. CNTR”, “2. REAR”, “3. MAIN”, “4. BASS” and
“5. M.LVL”, see page 20. (Once you have selected the
appropriate modes, you do not have to change settings unless
any alteration is made in your speaker system.)
6. LFE [Adjusting the output level of the
LFE (low frequency effect) channel]
Control range: –20 dB to 0 dB (in 1 dB step)
Preset value: 0 dB
* This adjustment is effective only when the Dolby Digital is
decoded and the signals of selected source encoded with the
Dolby Digital contain LFE signals.
Adjusts the output level of the LFE (low frequency effect)
channel. If the LFE signals are mixed with signals of other
channels to output them from the same speakers, the ratio of
LFE signal level to the level of other signals are adjusted.
(See page 5 for details about the LFE channel.)
6. LFE (LFE LEVEL)
7. D.RNG (DYNAMIC RANGE)
8. C.DELAY (CENTER DELAY)
