(Remote control unit) 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. These contents can be verified with the STATUS and ON SCREEN buttons. Display OFFSET - 4dB The number indicates the normalization level when the currently playing program is normalized to the standard level. Surround parameters w 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 II, Dolby Digital and DTS Surround modes. (The same contents are set for all operating 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.) 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. SB CH OUT (Surround Back): "OFF Playback is conducted without using the surround back speaker. "ON Playback is conducted using the surround back speaker. NOTE: This operation can be performed directly using the "SURROUND BACK" button. 49
