Advanced Adjustments and Settings x CTR XXX dB (Center speaker level) x SUR.L. XXX dB (Surround speaker (left) level) x SUR.R. XXX dB (Surround speaker (right) level) x S.W. XXX dB (Sub woofer level) Initial setting: 0 dB You can adjust from -10 dB to +10 dB in 1 dB steps. x D.RANGE COMP. XXX (Dynamic range compressor) Lets you compress the dynamic range of the sound track. This may be useful when you want to watch movies at low volumes late at night. • OFF The dynamic range is not compressed. • STD The dynamic range is compressed as intended by the recording engineer. • MAX The dynamic range is compressed dramatically. Tip Dynamic range compressor lets you compress the dynamic range of the soundtrack based on the dynamic range information included in the Dolby Digital signal. "STD" is the standard setting, but it only enacts light compression. Therefore, we recommend using the "MAX" setting. This greatly compresses the dynamic range and lets you view movies late at night at low volumes. Unlike analog limiters, the levels are predetermined and provide a very natural compression. Note Dynamic range compression is possible with Dolby Digital sources only. x EFCT. XXX (Effect level) Initial setting: STD Lets you adjust the "presence" of the surround effect in 3 levels - MIN (minimum effect), STD (standard effect) and MAX (maximum effect). Note This parameter is valid only when you use a sound field selected with the MOVIE or MUSIC button.
