Adjusting the level (LEVEL menu) You can use the LEVEL menu to adjust the balance and level of each speaker. These settings are applied to all sound fields. Select "1-LEVEL" in the amplifier menus. For details on adjusting the parameters, see "Navigating through menus" (page 29) and "Overview of the menus" (page 30). LEVEL menu parameters x T. TONE (Test tone) Lets you adjust the speaker levels and balance while listening to the test tone from your listening position. For details, see "7: Adjusting the speaker levels and balance (TEST TONE)" (page 25). x FRT BAL (Front speaker balance) Lets you adjust the balance between front left and right speakers. x CNT LVL (Center speaker level) x SL LVL (Surround left speaker level) x SR LVL (Surround right speaker level) x SW LVL (Sub woofer level) x D. RANGE (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. Dynamic range compression is possible with Dolby Digital sources only. • COMP. OFF The dynamic range is not compressed. • COMP. STD The dynamic range is compressed as intended by the recording engineer. • COMP. 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. "COMP. STD" is the standard setting, but it only enacts light compression. Therefore, we recommend using the "COMP. 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. 32US
