5-1 NIGHT MODE
In the NIGHT mode, the dynamic range of the sound
played is reduced, making it possible to listen more
clearly to a softer sound while keeping the overall
volume level relatively low at night or in similar
circumstances. This mode works only with Dolby
digital sound.

Press the 3/4 cursor buttons to move the
cursor to NIGHT MODE on the SOUND

• When AUTO is set, the signals contained
in the Dolby TrueHD software are detected,
and the NIGHT mode is automatically
activated. The NIGHT mode is deactivated
with any Dolby digital sound signals that
are not Dolby TrueHD signals.
• When the compression rate is set to 0.0,
the NIGHT mode function is deactivated.

parameter is set in 0.1-step increments
from 0.1 (low) to 1.0 (high).

PANORAMA:
In the PANORAMA mode, the sound delivered
from the front left and right speakers envelops the
listener to create a 3-dimensional sound space.
Press the
1/2 cursor buttons to set the PANORAMA
mode to ON or OFF.
CENTER WIDTH:
This function gradually assigns the center channel
components to the front left and right speakers. By
assigning them in this way, inconsistencies in the tone
colors between the speakers can be smoothed out.
Adjustment in eight steps from 0 to 7 is possible
using the
1/2 cursor buttons.
This setting cannot be selected if NO has been
selected as the center speaker setting.
DIMENSION:
The DIMENSION function is used to adjust level
differences between the front and rear. Depending
on the input source, some sound is heard more
strongly at the front and others more strongly at the
rear. When this function is used, the desired balance
can be achieved.
Adjustment in seven steps from -3 to 3 is possible
using the
1/2 cursor buttons.
