Adjusting the Listening Modes

—Continued

Dolby Digital Settings

Dolby EX

This setting determines how Dolby Digital EX signals
are handled. This setting is unavailable if no surround
back speakers are connected or the ZONE 2 SPEAKERS
terminals are being used (page 82).

Auto:

Dolby Digital EX can be selected from
among the Dolby listening modes, and THX
Surround EX can be selected from among the
THX listening modes.

Manual:

You can select listening modes in accordance
with the table on page 61.

Late Night

With the Late Night function, you can reduce the
dynamic range of Dolby Digital material so that you can
still hear quiet parts even when listening at low volume
levels—ideal for watching movies late at night when you
don’t want to disturb anyone.

Off:

Late Night function off.

Low:

Small reduction in dynamic range.

High:

Big reduction in dynamic range.

Setting Late Night with the Remote Controller:

The remote controller can be used to set the Late Night
function only when the input source is Dolby Digital.

Notes:

• The effect of the Late Night function depends on the

Dolby Digital material that you are playing, and with
some material there will be little or no effect.

• The Late Night function is set to Off when the AV

receiver is set to Standby.

LFE Level Setting

With this setting, you can set the level of the LFE (Low
Frequency Effects) channel for Dolby Digital, DTS,
MCH PCM (HDMI IN), and MCH Ana (multichannel
DVD input). The level can be set to –

, –20 dB, –10 dB,

or 0 dB (default).
If you find that the low-frequency effects are too loud
when using one of these sources, set the level to –20 dB
or –

dB.

*The MCH PCM setting only applies to the
TX-SR803/803E.
