• When "Default Yes" is selected and the CURSOR F button is pressed, "CINEMA EQ." and "D.COMP." are automatically turned off, "LFE" is reset, and "TONE" is set to the default value. ¢ Surround parameters e 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 IIx, 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: 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. TONE: This adjusts the tone control ( page 63, 64). This can be set individually for the separate surround mode other than PURE DIRECT, DIRECT and Home THX Cinema mode. Basic Operation ¢ Dialogue Normalization Dialogue Normalization (Dial Norm) is a feature of Dolby Digital, which is used to keep the programs at the same average listening level so the user does not have to change the volume control between Dolby Digital programs. When playing back software which has been encoded in Dolby Digital, sometimes you may see a brief message in the front panel display which will read "Dial Norm X dB" (X being a numeric value). The display is showing how the program level relates with THX calibration level. If you want to play the program at calibrated theatrical levels, you may wish to adjust the volume. For example, if you see the following message: "Dial Norm + 4 dB" in the front panel display, to keep the overall output level at THX calibrated loudness, just turn down the volume control by 4 dB. However, unlike a movie theater where the playback loudness is preset, you can choose your preferred volume setting for best enjoyment. Display Dial.Norm Offset -4dB Night mode When listening at night or at lower volumes, the night mode improves listenability. Press the NIGHT button on the remote control unit to enter the night mode. • Canceling night mode: Press the NIGHT button again. • The night mode only works when playing program sources recorded in Dolby Digital. • When the night mode is set to "ON", the "D.COMP" surround parameter can not be selected. 55
