Dolby Volume
` Off
` On
Dolby Volume automatically adjusts the difference in
volume levels which can occur between different contents
or source components, freeing the user from having to
make volume adjustments. Also, by adjusting the
frequency balance according to the playback volume, it
recreates the original source audio. Dolby Volume
therefore provides comfortable listening, effectively
controlling the volume level difference without unnatural
changes in volume or sound quality to recreate the balance
and nuance of the source audio.
Note
• When the “Dolby Volume” setting is set to “On”,
“Dynamic EQ” and “Dynamic Volume” will be set to “Off”.
• If you would like to use Dolby Volume in THX listening modes,
set the “Loudness Plus” and “Preserve THX Settings” settings
to “Off” and “No”, respectively.
• When “Dolby Volume” is set to “On”, the Late Night function
cannot be set.
■
Volume Leveler
` Off
` Low:
Low Compression Mode activated.
` Mid:
Medium Compression Mode activated.
` High:
High Compression Mode activated. This setting
affects volume the most, causing all sounds to be of
equal loudness.
“Volume Leveler” maintains the perceived loudness of
all contents, coming from different channels or input
sources.
Note
• If the “Dolby Volume” setting is set to “Off”, this setting cannot
be selected.
■
Half Mode
` Off
`
On
The Half Mode parameter turns Dolby Volume Half Mode
processing on and off.
In off mode, Dolby Volume applies a bass and treble
attenuation to the audio when the system gain exceeds
reference level. This enables a more perceptually flat
listening experience as human ears are more sensitive to
bass and treble at higher levels. Some listeners however,
prefer to have more bass and treble performance at higher
gain levels.
Note
• If the “Dolby Volume” setting is set to “Off”, this setting cannot
be selected.
• During Half Mode on playback, Dolby Volume does not apply a
bass and treble attenuation when the system volume exceeds
reference level thereby boosting perception of high and low
frequencies.
DTS
■
Neo:6 Music
Center Image
` 0 to 2 to 5
The DTS Neo:6 Music listening mode creates 6-channel
surround sound from 2-channel stereo sources. With this
setting, you can specify by how much the front left and
right channel output is attenuated in order to create the
center channel.
Changing the value from “0” to “5” will spread the sound
of the center channel to left and right (outwards).
Audyssey DSX™
■ Soundstage
` –3dB to Reference to +3dB
With this setting, you can adjust the sound stage when
using Audyssey DSX.
Note
• This listening mode can be selected only when all the following
conditions are satisfied:
– The center speaker is connected.
– The front high and front wide speakers are connected.
Theater-Dimensional
■ Listening Angle
` Wide:
Select if the listening angle is 40 degrees.
` Narrow:
Select if the listening angle is 20 degrees.
With this setting, you can optimize the Theater-
Dimensional listening mode by specifying the angle of the
front left and right speakers relative to the listening
position. Ideally, the front left and right speakers should
be equidistant from the listening position and at an angle
close to one of the two available settings.
LFE Level
■ Dolby Digital *1 , DTS *2 , Multich PCM, Dolby
TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, DSD *3
` – dB, –20dB, –10dB, or 0dB
With these settings, you can set the level of the LFE (Low
Frequency Effects) channel individually for each input
sources.
If you find that low-frequency effects are too loud when
using one of these sources, change the setting to –20 dB or
–
dB.
*1 Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus sources
*2 DTS and DTS-HD High Resolution sources
