Setting the Listening mode parameters The following parameters are available for each Listening mode. LATE NIGHT FRONT EFFECT Re-EQ LFE level control Dolby Digital r - r r DTS Surround - - r r Dolby Pro Logic - - r - Orchestra, Unplugged, Studio-Mix, TV Logic - r - - LATE NIGHT If you play a movie at a low volume at night, set this parameter to "ON" to narrow the dynamic range of the sound to make it easier to hear. The Late Night function works only with source material that contains necessary Dolby Digital information. Note: • The Late Night effect is determined by each Dolby Digital sound. Some sounds may produce no or little effect. • The Late Night function is effective only on the Dolby Digital sound. While the Dolby Digital sound is playing, press the LATE NIGHT/ FRONT EFFECT button. The current setting appears on the display. (LATE NIGHT=ON or OFF) Pressing the LATE NIGHT/FRONT EFFECT button repeatedly will toggle between ON and OFF. FRONT EFFECT Some live recordings contain acoustic reverberation. When you play these sources, more reverberation will be applied by the DSP, creating too much reverb effects and the sound loses its frame or presence. In this case, set FRONT EFFECT to OFF. No reverberation from the DSP will be applied to the sound output from three front channels, and the sound source will be played as it is without any further reverberation. Note: The Front Effect function is effective only on the ORCHESTRA, UNPLUGGED, STUDIO-MIX, and TV LOGIC sound. While ORCHESTRA, UNPLUGGED, STUDIO-MIX, or TV LOGIC is selected for Listening mode, press the LATE NIGHT/ FRONT EFFECT button. The current setting appears on the display. (FRT EFFECT=ON or OFF) Pressing the LATE NIGHT/FRONT EFFECT button repeatedly will toggle between ON and OFF. Re-EQ Cinema Re-Equalization Re-Equalization takes the edginess or "brightness" out of your home cinema sound, compensating for the fact that sound mixed for theaters will sound too bright when played back through speakers in the home environment. To enable Re-Equalization, set the Re-EQ to ON. While the Dolby ProLogic Surround, Dolby Digital Surround, or DTS Surround sound is playing, press the Re-EQ button. The current setting appears on the display. (RE-EQ=ON or OFF) Pressing the Re-EQ button repeatedly will toggle between ON and OFF. Note: The Re-EQ function is effective on the Dolby ProLogic Surround, Dolby Digital Surround, and DTS Surround sound. LFE (Low Frequency Effect) Level Control This control function enables you to adjust the level of LFE in the Dolby Digital/DTS Surround sound. Notes: • The LFE Level Control function is effective only on the Dolby Digital/DTS Surround sound. • The LFE function may not be effective on some Dolby Digital or DTS Surround sources. Dolby Digital sound: Press the LFE LEVEL CONTROL button repeatedly to select 0dB, -10dB, or -∞dB. "0dB" is recommended. If the low range sounds too loud for your taste, select -10dB or -∞dB. DTS sound: Press the LFE LEVEL CONTROL button repeatedly to select +10dB, 0dB, or -∞dB. "+10dB" is recommended for cinema sound sources. If the low range sounds too loud for your taste, select 0dB or -∞dB. "0dB" is recommended for music sound source. If the low range sounds too loud for your taste, select -∞dB. 23
