LEVEL menu You can adjust the level of each speaker manually. x T. TONE Lets you adjust the speaker levels while listening to the test tone from your seating position (page 35). x FL LVL, FR LVL, CNT LVL, SL LVL, SR LVL, SB LVL, SBL LVL, SBR LVL, LH LVL, RH LVL, SW LVL You can adjust each speaker's level (front left/right, center, surround left/right, surround back left/right, front left/right high, subwoofer). Note Depends on the speaker pattern setting, some parameters may not be available. x D. RANGE Lets you compress the dynamic range of the soundtrack. 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. MAX The dynamic range is compressed dramatically. • COMP. STD The dynamic range is compressed as intended by the recording engineer. • COMP.AUTO The dynamic range is compressed automatically. • COMP. OFF The dynamic range is not compressed. 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, and 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 size and distance of the speakers connected to this receiver. x PATTERN Lets you select the speaker pattern according to the speaker system which you are using (page 30). x FRT SIZE, CNT SIZE, SUR SIZE, FH SIZE You can adjust each speaker's size (front left/right, center, surround left/right, surround back left/right, front left/right high). • LARGE If you connect large speakers that will effectively reproduce bass frequencies, select "LARGE". Normally, select "LARGE". • SMALL If the sound is distorted, or you feel a lack of surround effects when using multi channel surround sound, select "SMALL" to activate the bass redirection circuitry and output the bass frequencies of each channel from the subwoofer or other "LARGE" speakers. Note This function does not work when "A. DIRECT" is selected. Advanced Operations continued 57GB

SL LVL, SR LVL, SB LVL,
SBL LVL, SBR LVL, LH LVL,
RH LVL, SW LVL
You can adjust each speaker’s level (front

back left/right, front left/right high,
subwoofer).
Note
Depends on the speaker pattern setting, some
parameters may not be available.

D. RANGE
Lets you compress the dynamic range of the
soundtrack. 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. MAX
The dynamic range is compressed
dramatically.
•
COMP. STD
The dynamic range is compressed as
intended by the recording engineer.
• COMP.AUTO

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, and 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.
You can adjust the size and distance of the
