5.8.10 DYNAMICS
This allows you to control the difference between the softest and loudest passages on 5.1/6.1-channel
soundtracks, as long as the soundtrack contains dynamic scaling information and at least 5.1 speakers are
used. Press DYNAMICS and then use the Master Control Knob to cycle through the following settings:
Normal: Reproduces the full dynamic range of the recording without changing it.
Reduced: Allows the quieter parts to be heard more easily, and works by raising the level of quieter
sounds and/or reducing the level of louder sounds.
Late Night: Reduces the softest-to-loudest difference even further. The quietest passages can be
heard even more easily, and prevents having to hear sudden loud passages.
Note: Because setting Dynamics back to ‘Normal’ can sometimes be forgotten, Dynamics resets to
‘Normal’ automatically whenever Main power is turned off.
5.9 FRONT PANEL DISPLAY
The intensity of the Front Panel display and LED indicators can be changed. Press
DISPLAY and then use the Master Control Knob to select High, Medium, Low, or Off. The
High, Medium, and Low intensities, and the Front Panel Wake-Up can be modified, as
can the time-to-rest when the display will dim (see section 7.4.10).
