Press the CURSOR LEFT/RIGHT buttons to adjust the selected parameter as desired.

Repeat the above steps 1 and 2 to adjust other parameter.

■ When selecting the “L.SYNC (Lip-Sync)”
• There may be a slight time delay between the video and audio signals in case that some video playback equipment may

process the video signals later than the audio signals due to signal processing procedure, etc.. Should this happen, you can
adjust the time delay of audio signals to synchronize the sound with the picture.

• The time delay can be adjusted with the range of 0.0 ~ 9.0 frames (1 sec. = 30 frames).

■ When selecting the “D.M. (Dual Mono)”
• Dual mono software usually is used to put two different mono soundtracks, that you can listen to together or separately, on

one DVD, etc. With this setting you can choose which dual mono setting you want to listen to.

• This setting works only with dual mono encoded Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks.

CH 1 : Only channel 1 is heard from the front speakers.

↕

CH 2 : Only channel 2 is heard.

↕

CH 1+2 : Both channels are heard.

■ When selecting the “DRC (Dynamic Range Control)”
• This function compresses the dynamic range of previously specified parts of Dolby Digital or DTS sound track (with

extremely high volume) to minimize the difference in volume between the specified and non-specified parts. This makes it
easy to hear all of the sound track when watching movies at night at low levels.

OFF : To turn the DRC function off.

↕

MID : To adjust it to “MID” level.

↕

MAX : To adjust it to “MAX” level.

■ Note :
• In some Dolby Digital or DTS software, the DRC setting may not be valid.

■ When selecting the “LFE (LFE level)”
• Some Dolby Digital or DTS source, etc. includes LFE (ultra low bass) signals.
• The LFE level can be adjusted as desired.

OFF : To output no sound from the LFE channel.

↕

0 : In general, to set to 0dB (recommended value)

↕

-10: To set to -10 dB for some early DTS software, etc.

■ When selecting the “C.WIDTH (Center Width)”
• This adjusts the center image so it may be heard only from the center speaker, only from left/right speakers as a phantom

image, or from all three front speakers to varying degrees.

• The control can be set in 8 steps from 0 to 7.

■ Note :
• This control valid only when the center speaker is not set to NO.

■ When selecting the “DIMEN (Dimension)”
• This gradually adjusts the sound field either towards the front or towards the rear. The control can be set in 7 steps from -3

to +3.

■ When selecting the “PNRM (Panorama)”
• This mode extends the front stereo image to include the surround speakers for an exciting “wraparound” effect with side wall

imaging. Select “OFF” or “ON”.
