■ Front panel operation
Press DSP, then rotate VOLUME/SELECT within 5
seconds.
The name of the selected program appears on the front
panel display.
y
Choose a sound field program based on your listening preference,
and not on the name of the program.
• If no operation is performed within 5 seconds of pressing DSP
on the front panel, the function of VOLUME/SELECT switches
back to volume.
• There are 9 programs with sub-programs available with this
unit. However, the selection depends on the input signal format
and not all sub-programs can be used with all input signal
formats.
• The acoustics of your listening room affect the sound field
program. Minimize the sound reflections in your room to
maximize the effect created by the program.
• When you select an input source, this unit automatically selects
the last sound field program used with that source.
• When you set this unit in standby mode, it stores the current
source and sound field program in memory and automatically
selects them when you turn on the power again.
• If the unit receives a Dolby Digital or DTS signal when the
input mode is set to AUTO, the CINEMA DSP sound field
programs automatically switches to the appropriate decoding
program.
• When the unit is reproducing a monaural source with PRO
LOGIC, PRO LOGIC Enhanced, PRO LOGIC II Movie or PRO
LOGIC IIx Movie, no sound is output from the front and
surround speakers. Sound can only be heard from the center
speaker. (If “Center” on the SOUND menu is set to None, the
center channel sound is output from the front speakers.)
■ Listening at night
This mode reproduces dialogue clearly while reducing the
volume of loud sound effects for easier listening at low
volumes or at night.
Press NIGHT on the remote control.
The NIGHT indicator in the front panel
display lights up.
Press NIGHT again to cancel. The
NIGHT indicator goes off.
y
• You can use the night listening mode with any sound field
program.
• Night listening mode may vary in effectiveness depending on
the input source and surround sound settings you use.
■ Normal stereo reproduction
Press DSP on the front panel (or press STEREO/EFFECT
on the remote) to select STEREO.
Press again so that “STEREO” disappears from the
display when you want to turn the sound effect back on.
• If you turn off the sound effects, no sound is output from the
center speaker, surround speakers, or surround back speaker.
• If you turn off the sound effects while the unit is reproducing
sound from a Dolby Digital or DTS signal, the dynamic range
of the signal is automatically compressed and the unit
downmixes the sound of the center and surround speaker
channels to output them from the front speakers.
• The volume may be greatly reduced when you turn off the
sound effects or if you set Dynamic Range to “MIN” (see
page 42). In this case, turn on the sound effect.
