x D. RANGE
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.
• COMP. MAX
The dynamic range is compressed
dramatically.
• COMP. STD
The dynamic range is compressed as
intended by the recording engineer.
• COMP.AUTO
The dynamic range is compressed
automatically.
• COMP. OFF
The dynamic range is not compressed.
Tip
Dynamic range compressor lets you compress the
dynamic range of the soundtrack based on the
dynamic range information included in the Dolby
Digital signal.
“COMP. STD” is the standard setting, and enacts
light compression. Therefore, we recommend using
the “COMP. 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.
You can adjust the size and distance of the
speakers connected to this receiver.
x PATTERN
Lets you select the speaker pattern according
to the speaker system which you are using
(page 30).
x FRT SIZE, CNT SIZE, SUR SIZE,
FH SIZE
You can adjust each speaker’s size (front
left/right, center, surround left/right, surround
back left/right, front left/right high).
• LARGE
If you connect large speakers that will
effectively reproduce bass frequencies,
select “LARGE”. Normally, select
“LARGE”.
• SMALL
If the sound is distorted, or you feel a lack of
surround effects when using multi channel
surround sound, select “SMALL” to activate
the bass redirection circuitry and output the
bass frequencies of each channel from the
subwoofer or other “LARGE” speakers.
Note
This function does not work when “A. DIRECT” is
selected.
