Amplifier Operations Settings for the Custom Menu (CUSTOM menu) You can use the CUSTOM menu to make settings for the audio to suit your preference. Select "CUSTOM" in the amplifier menus. For details on adjusting the parameters, see "Navigating through menus" (page 32) and "Overview of the menus" (page 33). CUSTOM menu parameters x DUAL (Digital broadcast language selection) Lets you select the language you want to listen to during digital broadcast. This feature only functions for Dolby Digital sources. • MAIN (Main) Sound of the main language will be output. • SUB (Sub) Sound of the sub language will be output. • MAIN/SUB (Main/Sub) Sound of the main language will be output through the front left speaker and sound of the sub language will be output through the front right speaker simultaneously. x A/V SYNC (Synchronizes audio with video output) Lets you delay the audio output so that the time gap between the audio output and visual display is minimized. You can adjust from OFF, 1 (10 ms) to 20 (200 ms) in 1 (10 ms) steps. Notes • You may not be able to adjust the delay between sound and image perfectly using this function. • This function is useful only for Dolby Digital, DTS and Linear PCM (2ch) input by optical and coaxial audio input signals. x AUD. DRC (Audio dynamic range compression) 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. Audio dynamic range compression is possible with Dolby Digital sources only. • DRC OFF The audio dynamic range is not compressed. • DRC STD The audio dynamic range is compressed as intended by the recording engineer. • DRC MAX The audio dynamic range is compressed dramatically. Tip Audio dynamic range compression lets you compress the dynamic range of the sound track based on the dynamic range information included in the Dolby Digital signal. "DRC STD" is the standard setting, but it only enacts light compression. Therefore, we recommend using the "DRC 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. x DIMMER (Brightness of the display) Lets you adjust the brightness of the display. For details, see "Changing the brightness of the display (DIMMER)" (page 51). x DISPLAY (Display) Lets you turn on and off the display. For details, see "Changing the display setting (DISPLAY)" (page 51). x SLEEP (Sleep timer) Lets you set the timer to power off the receiver automatically. For details, see "Using the Sleep Timer (SLEEP)" (page 52). continued 39US
