T. TONE, FL LVL, CNT LVL, LH LVL, D. RANGE, Adjusting the speaker level

Page 76 highlights

LEVEL menu You can adjust the level of each speaker. These settings are applied to all sound fields. x T. TONE Lets you adjust the speaker levels while listening to the test tone from your listening position. • OFF The test tone is turned off. • AUTO xxx* The test tone is output from each speaker in sequence. * xxx represent a speaker channel. Adjusting the speaker level You can adjust each speaker's level using the following parameters. For front left/right speakers, you can adjust the level from -10.0 dB to +10.0 dB in 0.5 dB steps. For other speakers, you can adjust the level from -20.0 dB to +10.0 dB in 0.5 dB steps. x FL LVL x FR LVL x CNT LVL x SL LVL x SR LVL x SB LVL x SBL LVL x SBR LVL x LH LVL x RH LVL x SW LVL 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, 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. 76GB
