When “YES” is selected, the settings are reset to their
factory default values.
Stop operating buttons once the surround parameter settings have
been completed. After several seconds the normal display
reappears and the settings are automatically set.
NOTES:
• When “DEFAULT” is selected and the cursor button is
pressed (“YES”), “D.COMP.” is automatically set to “OFF” and
“LFE” is reset to the default value.
(“D.COMP.” is not valid for DTS source.)
• Signals encoded in Dolby Digital can only be played in the Auto
decode (Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II or Auto stereo), Stereo,
Direct or Virtual modes. Other modes do not work when playing
Dolby Digital signals.
• DTS signals can only be played in the Auto decode (DTS), Stereo
or Direct modes. Other modes do not work when playing DTS
signals.
• DTS signals can also be played in the “DTS” input mode. (See
page 35.) In this case, decoding and playback are only
performed when DTS signals are input.
Surround parameters (2)
D.COMP. (Dynamic Range Compression):
• This parameter adjusts the dynamic range of the Dolby
Digital sound. When listening with the volume turned
relatively low, at night for example, set this to the “HI” side
to lower the peak of the sound and amplify the quieter
sounds, narrowing the dynamic range and making the sound
easier to listen to. Set to “OFF” to turn this function off.
LFE (Low Frequency Effect):
• Program source and adjustment range
1. Dolby Digital: –10 dB to 0 dB
2. DTS Surround: –10 dB to 0 dB
• When Dolby Digital encoded software is played, it is
recommended that the LFE LEVEL be set to 0 dB for correct
Dolby Digital playback.
• When DTS encoded movie software is played, it is
recommended that the LFE LEVEL be set to 0 dB for correct
DTS playback.
• When DTS encoded music software is played, it is
recommended that the LFE LEVEL be set to –10 dB for
correct DTS playback.
