Basic Operation 2 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 LogicIIx, Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital, DTS Surround, DTS NEO:6 and WIDE SCREEN 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. This parameter is displayed only when playing compatible sources in DTS mode. 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, DTS, DVD-audio or Super Audio CD. Program source and adjustment range: -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. TONE: This adjusts the tone control ( page 41). This can be set individually for the separate surround mode other than PURE DIRECT and DIRECT mode. MODE/SB CH OUT: Select the surround back channel playback method or mode. (1) Multi channel source • NON MTRX: The same signals as those of the surround channels are output from the surround back channels. • MTRX ON: The surround channel signals undergo digital matrix processing and are output from the surround back channels. • SB OFF (OFF): No signal is played from the surround back channels. • ES MTRX: When playing DTS signals, the surround back signals undergo digital matrix processing for playback. • ES DSCRT: When a signal identifying the source as a discrete 6.1-channel source is included in the DTS signals, the surround back signals included in the source are played. • PLIIx Cinema: Processing is performed with the Cinema mode of the PLIIx decoder and the Surround Back channel is reproduced. • PLIIx Music: Processing is performed with the Music mode of the PLIIx decoder and the Surround Back channel is reproduced. (2) 2ch source • OFF: Playback is conducted without using the surround back speaker. • ON: Playback is conducted using the surround back speaker. This operation can be performed directly pressing the SURROUND BACK button. AFDM (Auto Flag Detect Mode): • ON: This function only works with software on which a special identification signal is recorded. This software is scheduled to go on sale in the future. This is a function for automatically playing in the 6.1-channel mode using the surround back speaker(s) if the software is recorded in Dolby Digital EX or DTS-ES or in the normal 5.1channel mode without using the surround back speaker(s) when the software is not recorded in Dolby Digital EX or DTSES. When AFDM is set to "ON" and the EX/ES flag is detected automatically, the surround mode is fixed according to the playing program source. In this case, the "MODE/SB CH OUT" parameter can not be selected on the surround parameter screen. Basic Operation • OFF: When the identification signal is detected automatically and you would like to select the surround mode freely, set AFDM to "OFF". In this case the "MODE/SB CH OUT" parameter can be selected on the surround parameter screen regardless of the playing program source. Example:When playing software that has a Dolby Digital EX flag q When AFDM is set to "ON", the surround mode is automatically set to the "DOLBY DIGITAL + PLIIx CINEMA" mode. The surround parameter screen will be displayed. w When you would like to play back with the "Dolby Digital EX" mode, set AFDM to "OFF" and select "MTRX ON" with "SB CH OUT". 35
