LEVEL menu You can adjust the level of each speaker to suit your preference. To output a test tone from each speaker You can output a test tone from the speakers in sequence. • AUTO FL, AUTO CNT, AUTO FR, AUTO SR, AUTO SL, AUTO SW • OFF When a test tone is not output from the speakers • The speaker cords may not be connected securely. • The speaker cords may have the short-circuit problem. Note The test tone signals are not output from the HDMI TV OUT jack. To adjust the speaker levels You can adjust each speaker level (FL LEVEL, FR LEVEL, CNT LEVEL, SL LEVEL, SR LEVEL, SW LEVEL) from -6.0 dB to +6.0 dB in 0.5 dB interval. Enjoying Dolby Digital sound at low volume (D. RANGE) Narrows the dynamic range of the sound track. Useful for enjoying movies at low volume. D. RANGE only applies to Dolby Digital sources. • COMP. MAX: Compress dynamic range fully. • COMP. STD: Compress dynamic range as intended by the recording engineer. • COMP. AUTO: Compress dynamic range automatically. • COMP. OFF: Does not compress dynamic range. Tip Audio dynamic range compression 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. SPEAKER menu You can adjust the distance of the speakers connected to this receiver. To set the speaker connection • CENTER (SUR) YES: Selects when you connect the speaker. • CENTER (SUR) NO: Selects when you do not connect the speaker. To set the speaker distance You can adjust each speaker distance (FL DIST, FR DIST, CNT DIST, SL DIST, SR DIST, SW DIST) from 3' 3" to 32' 9" in 1 inch interval. EQ menu You can adjust the equalizer (bass and treble level) of the front speakers from -6 dB to +6 dB in 1 dB interval. xBASS xTREBLE Advanced Settings 41US
