The corresponding channel is selected as
follows:
• REF 1, 2 (or CAL)
• FL
• C
• FR
• SR
• SL
• SW
• DTS or DD—Only when the digital signals
from Dolby Digital or DTS program
sources are input, these levels can be
displayed.
3 Press the select or button to adjust the
level of the channel.
The LFE (low frequency effects) level can be
adjusted within the range of -10~0 dB and
other channel levels within the range of -15 ~
+15 dB.
In general, we recommend the LFE level to
be adjusted to 0 dB.(However, the
recommended LFE level for some early DTS
software is -10 dB.) If the recommended
levels seem too high, lower the setting as
necessary.
4 Repeat this procedure to adjust each channel
level.
Memorizing the adjusted channel levels
You can memorize the adjusted channel levels
into preset memory (REF 1 or REF 2) and recall
the memorized levels whenever you want.
To memorize the adjusted channel levels:
1 After completing the steps under “Adjusting
the current channel level” on page 20, press
the MEMORY/ENTER button.
The 1 of the REF 1 indicator flickers for
several seconds.
2 Press the select or buttons to select
REF 1 or REF 2.
If the preset memory disappears, repeat
step 1 above.
3 Press the MEMORY/ENTER button to
confirm your selection. The adjusted channel
levels have now been memorized into the
selected memory.
Recalling the memorized channel levels
To recall the memorized channel levels:
1 Press the CHANNEL LEVEL button. CAL or
REF 1 is displayed for several seconds.
2 Press the select or button to select
REF 1 or REF 2. The channel levels
memorized into the selected preset memory
are recalled.
Adjusting the sound parameters
While playing digital signals from a Dolby Digital
or DTS program source or listening in Dolby Pro
Logic II Music mode, you can adjust their
parameters for optimum surround effect.
Sound parameters include:
•
DRC—Dynamic Range Compression mode
can be selected only while playing digital
signals from Dolby Digital or DTS source.
This function compresses the dynamic range
of previously specified parts of Dolby Digital
or DTS sound track (with extremely high
volume) to minimize the difference in volume
between the specified and non-specified
parts. This makes it easy to hear all of the
sound track when watching movies at night at
low levels. The DRC mode can be set in 11
steps from OFF (0.0) to MAX (1.0) (default
value is OFF).
• PANORAMA—Panorama mode can be
selected only while listening in Dolby Pro
Logic II Music mode. This mode extends the
front stereo image to include the surround
speakers for an exciting “wraparound” effect
with side wall imaging. Select “OFF” or “ON”
(default value is OFF).
• CENTER WIDTH—Center width control can
be selected only while listening in Dolby Pro
Logic II Music mode. This control adjusts the
center image so it may be heard only from
the center speaker, only from the left/right
speakers as a phantom image, or from all
three front speakers to varying degrees. The
control can be set in eight steps from 0 to 7
(default value is 3).
• DIMENSION—Dimension control can be
selected only while listening in Dolby Pro
Logic II Music mode. This control gradually
adjusts the soundfield either towards the front
or towards the rear. The control can be set in
seven steps from -3 to +3 (default value is 0).
Note
• Depending on the speaker settings NONE and
surround mode, some channels cannot be
selected.
• When the SPEAKER button is set to off, only
the Front Left and Front Right channels can be
selected.
OR
Note
If the channel level mode display disappears,
press this button again.
Note
In some Dolby Digital or DTS software, the night
mode may not be valid.
