Adjusting the sound parameters While playing digital signals from a Dolby Digital or DTS program source or listening in Dolby Pro Logic II Music mode, you can adjust their parameters for optimum surround effect. To adjust the sound parameters: 1 Press the SOUND PARAMETER button. 2 Press the select or buttons to select the parameter. Each time these buttons are pressed, the parameter mode changes as follows: • NIGHT-Night mode. This mode can be selected only while playing digital signals from Dolby Digital or DTS source. • PANO-Panorama mode.This mode can be selected only while listening in Dolby Pro Logic II Music mode. • C.WIDTH-Center width control. This mode can be selected only while listening in Dolby Pro Logic II Music mode. • DIMEN-Dimension control. This mode can be selected only while listening in Dolby Pro Logic II Music mode. 3 Press the select or buttons to adjust the parameter. If you select the Night mode, then this function compresses the dynamic range of previously specified parts of Dolby Digital or DTS sound track (with extremely high volume) to minimize the difference in volume between the specified and non-specified parts. This makes it easy to hear all of the sound track when watching movies at night at low levels. The night mode can be set in 11 steps from 0.0 to 1.0 (default value is 0.0). Note In some Dolby Digital or DTS software, the night mode may not be valid. If you select the Panorama mode, then this mode extends the front stereo image to include the surround speakers for an exciting "wraparound" effect with side wall imaging. Select "OFF" or "ON" (default value is OFF). If you select the Center Width control, then this control adjusts the center image so it may be heard only from the center speaker, only from the left/right speakers as a phantom image, or from all three front speakers to varying degrees. The control can be set in eight steps from 0 to 7 (default value is 3). If you select the Dimension control, then this control gradually adjusts the soundfield either towards the front or towards the rear. The control can be set in seven steps from -3 to +3 (default value is 0). 4 Repeat the above procedure to adjust the other parameters. www.insignia-products.com 13
