• This button mutes the playback sound immediately. This
can be useful, for example, when you receive a telephone
call while listening to music or another source. When
pressed, “Muting” is displayed on the TX-DS787. Press
the MUTING button again to turn the sound back on.
AUDIO: For selecting the audio input signal. The setting
changes from “AUTO” to “Multichannel” to “Analog” and
back each time this button is pressed.
INPUT SELECTOR: Selects an input source.
• Same as the input selector buttons on front panel of the
TX-DS787.
Re-EQ: Depending on the listening mode, you can turn the
cinema re-equalization function on or off.
• The re-equalization function takes the edginess or
“brightness” out of your home cinema sound to
compensate for the fact that sound mixed for theaters may
sound too bright when played back through speakers in the
home environment.
LATE NIGHT: Sets “High,” “Low,” or “Off” for the late
night function.
• Cinema sound has a vast dynamic range; therefore, to hear
the quieter sounds such as human conversations, they must
be played back at larger volumes. When this parameter is
set to “High” or “Low,” the dynamic range of the sound is
narrowed down to allow you to easily hear minute sounds
at low volumes. This function is especially useful if you
wish to play a movie at low volumes during the nighttime.
