Therefore, although it may result in a setting contrary to the above explanation, we recommend that you playback multi channel surround encoded software and select the setting that provides a good sense of spaciousness and that best succeeds in forming a cohesive space between the surround sound from the surround speakers and the sound of the front speakers. If you are not sure which sounds best, select "BEHD" and then use the speaker distance parameter and speaker level adjustments to obtain proper balance. x CROSS > XXX Hz (Speaker crossover frequency) Initial setting: 100 Hz Lets you set the bass crossover frequency of speakers set to "SMALL" in the SP. SET UP menu. You can adjust the bass crossover frequency in three steps (60 Hz, 100 Hz, and 150 Hz). Advanced LEVEL menu parameters When "MENU EXP." is set to "ON", all of the following parameters are displayed and adjustable. See page 38 for the LEVEL menu adjustments.

COMP. (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. • OFF The dynamic range is not compressed. • STD The dynamic range is compressed as intended by the recording engineer. • 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. "STD" is the standard setting, but it only enacts light compression. Therefore, we recommend using the "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. Note Dynamic range compression is possible with Dolby Digital sources only. continued 43GB Advanced Adjustments and Settings
