Tips
• To adjust the level of all speakers at the same time,
press MASTER VOL +/– or 2 +/–. You can also
use MASTER VOLUME on the receiver.
• The adjusted value is shown on the TV screen
during adjustment.
To output test tone from each
speaker
You can output test tone from the speakers in
sequence.
1 Select “Test Tone”, then press or b.
2 Adjust the parameter, then press .
• OFF
• AUTO: The test tone is output from each
speaker in sequence.
3 Adjust the speaker level, then press
.
x D.Range Comp (Dynamic range
compression)
Lets you compress the dynamic range of the
soundtrack. This may be useful when you want
to watch movies at low volumes late at night.
Dynamic range compression is possible with
Dolby Digital sources only.
• MAX: The dynamic range is compressed
dramatically.
• STD: The dynamic range is compressed as
intended by the recording engineer.
• AUTO: The dynamic range is applied
automatically with Dolby TrueHD source or
other source is set to “OFF”.
• OFF: The dynamic range is not compressed.
Tip
“STD” is the standard setting, and enacts light
compression. Therefore, we recommend using the
“MAX” setting. This greatly compresses the
dynamic range and lets you view movies late at
night at low volumes. Unlike analog limiters, the
levels are predetermined and provide a very natural
compression.
x Distance Unit
Lets you select the unit of measurement for
setting distances.
• FEET: The distance is displayed in feet.
• METER: The distance is displayed in
meters.
Surround Settings menu
You can select the sound field and adjust the
effect level, etc. on the “Sound Field Setup”
screen.
For details on the sound field, see “Enjoying
Sound Effects” (page 51).
Note
The setup items you can adjust on each menu vary
depending on the sound field.
To adjust the effect type for
HD-D.C.S.
1 Select “HD-D.C.S.”, then press or
b.
2 Select the effect you want, then press
.
HD-D.C.S. has three different types:
Theater, Dynamic and Studio. Each type
has different reflection and reverberation
sound mixture levels and is optimized to
match a listener’s room uniqueness, taste
and mood.
• Dynamic
Want to enjoy the sound effects to the full
extent, just like at the movie theaters?
Dynamic type emphasizes on the
reflection sound. Without HD-D.C.S.,
many rooms are often somewhat
reverberant but lack a spacious feeling.
This type acoustically opens up those
types of rooms and provides a spacious
and dynamism feeling equivalent to a
mastering studio.
