Advanced Sound Control
Stereo
The Stereo mode uses the two main channel outputs from
the front speakers.
DSP (Digital Sound Processor)
These digital sound effects resemble sounds in a real
environment such as Arena, Jazz, Theater, Stadium and
Disco. DSP automatically converts analog audio signals to
digital ones which enables you to adjust the sound without
degrading the sound quality. Different modes will give you
different feel of size and type of listening environment.
(Not available in Dolby Digital (DVD))
Night Mode
By using Dynamic Range Compression technology (pressing
OK), you can enjoy enhanced Dolby Digital sound quality at
night without interrupting your roommates or neighbors.
Night Mode will compress the difference in volume
between normal voices and sound like explosions, while still
enjoying a Dolby Digital enable component (DVD, SAT).
Night Mode can be activated by pressing the OK
button repeatedly until NORMAL appears on the display.
While Normal is still on the display, press the LEFT or RIGHT
Adjustment buttons on the remote control,around the OK
button, on the remote control until you select the desired
mode. There are three modes (NORMAL, SOFT, SOFTER) for
you to choose the extents of compression.
Fine Setting of the Components
The receiver has pre-selected the best surround mode for
you once you turn on the unit by pressing the SOURCE
Buttons (like DVD/CD, SAT) directly. The default surround
modes for different components are as tabled below.
If you decide to change the surround mode, you can press
the SURROUND repeatedly to toggle among the different
