■ Volume Leveler ` Off: Volume Leveler off. ` Low: Low Compression Mode becomes active. ` Mid: Medium Compression Mode becomes active. ` High: High Compression Mode becomes active. This setting affects volume the most, causing all sounds to be of equal loudness. "Volume Leveler" maintains the perceived loudness of all content for example, from different channels or input sources. Note • If the "Dolby Volume" setting is set to "Off", this setting cannot be selected. ■ Half Mode ` Off: Half Mode off. ` On: Half Mode on. The Half Mode parameter turns Dolby Volume Half Mode processing ON and OFF. In OFF mode, Dolby Volume applies a bass and treble attenuation to the audio when the system gain exceeds reference level. This enables a more perceptually flat listening experience as human ears are more sensitive to bass and treble at higher levels. Some listeners however, prefer to have more bass and treble performance at higher gain levels. Note • If the "Dolby Volume" setting is set to "Off", this setting cannot be selected. • During Half Mode ON playback, Dolby Volume does not apply a bass and treble attenuation when the system volume exceeds reference level thereby boosting perception of high and low frequencies. DTS ■ Neo:6 Music Center Image ` 0 to 2 to 5 The DTS Neo:6 Music listening mode creates 6-channel surround sound from 2-channel stereo sources. With this setting, you can specify by how much the front left and right channel output is attenuated in order to create the center channel. Setting a value "0" in the middle is set to hear a sound. Sound is spread in left and right (the outside) so that the set value is made big. Please adjust by liking. Audyssey DSX™ ■ Soundstage ` -3dB to Reference to +3dB With this setting, you can adjust the soundstage when using Audyssey DSX™. Note • If the "Center" setting is set to "None", or both "Front High" and "Front Wide" settings are set to "None" (➔ 52), this setting cannot be selected. • "Soundstage" settings cannot be adjusted while Speakers B is selected. Theater-Dimensional ■ Listening Angle ` Wide: Select if the listening angle is greater than 30 degrees. ` Narrow: Select if the listening angle is less than 30 degrees. With this setting, you can optimize the Theater-Dimensional listening mode by specifying the angle of the front left and right speakers relative to the listening position. Ideally, the front left and right speakers should be equidistant from the listening position and at an angle close to one of the two available settings. Front left speaker Front right speaker Listening angle: 30° LFE Level ■ Dolby Digital*1, DTS*2, Multich PCM, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, DSD*3 ` -2dB, -20dB, -10dB, or 0dB With these settings, you can set the level of the LFE (Low Frequency Effects) channel individually for each input sources. If you find that low-frequency effects are too loud when using one of these sources, change the setting to -20 dB or -2 dB. *1 Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus sources. *2 DTS and DTS-HD High Resolution Audio sources. *3 DSD (Super Audio CD) sources.
