Surround parameters q
CINEMA EQ. (Cinema Equalizer):
The Cinema EQ function gently decreases the level of the extreme high frequencies, compensating for overly-bright sounding motion picture
soundtracks. Select this function if the sound from the front speakers is too bright.
This function only works in the Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital and DTS Surround modes.
D.COMP. (Dynamic Range Compression):
Motion picture soundtracks have tremendous dynamic range (the contrast between very soft and very loud sounds). For listening late at night,
or whenever the maximum sound level is lower than usual, the Dynamic Range Compression allows you to hear all of the sounds in the
soundtrack (but with reduced dynamic range). (This only works when playing program sources recorded in Dolby Digital or DTS.) Select one of
the four parameters (“OFF”, “LOW”, “MID” (middle) or “HI” (high)). Set to OFF for normal listening.
LFE (Low Frequency Effect):
This sets the level of the LFE (Low Frequency Effect) sounds included in the source when playing program sources recorded in Dolby Digital
or DTS.
If the sound produced from the subwoofer sounds distorted due to the LFE signals when playing Dolby Digital or DTS sources when the peak
limiter is turned off with the subwoofer peak limit level setting (system setup menu), adjust the level as necessary.
Program source and adjustment range
1. Dolby Digital: –10 dB to 0 dB
2. DTS Surround (–10 dB to 0 dB)
* When DTS encoded movie software is played, it is recommended that the LFE LEVEL be set to 0 dB for correct DTS playback.
* When DTS encoded music software is played, it is recommended that the LFE LEVEL be set to –10 dB for correct DTS playback.
S.Sp (Surround Speaker):
Select the surround speaker to be used. This is not displayed if the surround speaker setting has been set to “None” in the system setup. It
is also not displayed in the direct or stereo modes.
TONE:
This adjusts the tone control. (See “Surround parameters
w” on page 52.)

NOTE:
• When “Default” is selected and the
cursor button is pressed, “CINEMA EQ.” and “D.COMP.” are automatically turned off, “LFE” is
reset, “S.Sp” is set to “A” and the tone is set to the default value.
• With this model, Dolby Digital encoded signals can only be played in the Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital, DIRECT and STEREO mode. Other
surround mode buttons will not function during the Dolgy Digital signal playback.
• With this mode, DTS signals can only be played in the DTS Surround, DIRECT and STEREO mode. Other surround mode buttons will not
function during the DTS signal playback.
2 Dialogue Normalization
The dialogue normalization function is activated automatically when playing Dolby Digital program sources.
Dialogue normalization is a basic function of Dolby Digital which automatically normalizes the dialog level (standard level) of the signals which are
recorded at different levels for different program sources, such as DVD, DTV and other future formats that will use Dolby Digital.
When this function is activated, the following message appears on the main unit’s display:
DIAL.NORM
OFFSET - 4dB The number indicates the normalization level when the currently playing program is normalized to
the standard level.
