SURROUND speakers distance setting
mode
Use to set the SURROUND speakers distance. Like the
CENTER speaker position, the SURROUND speakers
may be set in a location closer or farther than the
FRONT speakers. Set the distance of the SURROUND
speakers accurately to hear sounds coming from both
FRONT and SURROUND speakers at the same time.
Press
% or fi to set the distance of the
SURROUND speakers from the main
listening position (within a 30 foot range).
MEMO:
• The initial setting is 10 ft.
• When “S*” is selected in SPEAKERS setting mode,
the SURROUND distance cannot be set.
• One step equals about 1 ft.
Dynamic range control setting mode
Dynamic range is the difference between the loudest and
softest sounds in any given signal. The dynamic range
control helps you play back sounds so the quieter
sounds are audible yet the louder sounds don’t get
distorted. It does this by compressing the dynamic
range, in other words pushing all the sounds towards the
same relative volume level. When watching a movie at
low volume, setting this function enables low level
sounds to be heard more easily but you won’t be jolted
by louder sounds.
Press
% or fi to set the dynamic range
control (OFF, MAX, or MID).
MEMO:
• The initial setting is “
OFF ”.
• When the volume level is increased, set to “ OFF ”.
• For listening enjoyment at low volumes, set to “ MAX ”
for maximum dynamic range compression.
• Dynamic range control is effective only when a Dolby
Digital signal is being played back.
Dual mono setting
The dual mono setting can only be used when listening
to Dolby Digital discs that have dual mono software
encoded in them. As of now these are not that widely
used. With this setting you can choose which channel in
the dual mono setting you want to listen to. Thus, it is
useful for soundtracks that have one language on one
channel and a different language on the other.
Remember you can only use this setting if you have
Dolby Digital software with this feature and want to
isolate one of the channels therein.
There are two different ways to route the sound in the
dual mono setting, one is with Dolby Digital mode on,
the other with Dolby Digital mode off. If Dolby Digital
mode is switched on, the
ch1 setting will play channel 1
through your center speaker, the ch2 setting will play
channel 2 through your center speaker. With Dolby
Digital mode off, the dual mono sound routing is as
follows: In the
ch1 setting your will hear channel 1 out
of both front speakers. In the ch2 setting you will hear
channel 2 out of both speakers. In the L. c1 R. c2
setting the speakers will play the soundtrack
independently of each other. The left front speaker will
play channel 1 and the right front speaker will play
channel 2.
Press
% or fi to cycle through the possible
DUAL MONO settings.
