Pioneer AVH-P3100DVD - Manual (Page 78)

! The acoustics of different performance en-
vironments are not the same and depend
on the extent and contour of space through
which sound waves move and on how
sounds bounce off the stage, walls, floors
and ceilings. At a live performance you
hear music in three stages: direct sound,
early reflections, and late reflections, or re-
verberations. Those factors are programed
into the SFC circuitry to recreate the acous-
tics of various performance settings.
% Touch SFC on the DSP function menu to
select the setting.
Touch
SFC until the desired setting appears in
the display.

Note
If the source is a 2-channel LPCM audio or a 2-
channel Dolby Digital audio and you select SFC
effects that are most applicable for 5.1-channel
audio (i.e.,
Musical, Drama or Action), we re-
commend turning Dolby Pro Logic II on. On the
other hand, when selecting SFC effects that are
intended for use with 2-channel audio (i.e.,
Jazz,
Hall or Club), we recommend turning Dolby Pro
Logic II off.
Adjusting source levels
SLA (source level adjustment) lets you adjust
the volume level of each source to prevent ra-
dical changes in volume when switching be-
tween sources.
! Settings are based on the FM volume level,
which remains unchanged.
1 Compare the FM volume level with the
level of the source you wish to adjust.
2 Touch Source Level Adjuster on the DSP
function menu.
3 Touch c or d to adjust the source vo-
lume.
Each time you touch c or d it increases or de-
creases the source volume.
+4 to
–4 is displayed as the source volume is
increased or decreased.
Notes
! The MW/LW volume level can also be adjusted
with source level adjustments.
! Video CD, CD, compressed audio and DivX
are set to the same source level adjustment
volume automatically.
! External unit 1 and external unit 2 are set to
the same source level adjustment volume
automatically.
! AUX (auxiliary input) and AV (AV input) are set
to the same source level adjustment volume
automatically.
Using the dynamic range control
The dynamic range refers to the difference be-
tween the largest and softest sounds. The dy-
namic range control compresses this
difference so that you can clearly hear sounds
even at low volume levels.
! The dynamic range control is effective only
on Dolby Digital sounds.
! When playing other than the DVD disc, you
cannot switch to Dynamic Range Control.
