Using the sound field control
The SFC function creates the sensation of a
live performance.
! The acoustics of different performance en-
vironments are not the same and depend
on the extent and contour of space through
which sound waves move and on how
sounds bounce off the stage, walls, floors
and ceilings. At a live performance you
hear music in three stages: direct sound,
early reflections, and late reflections, or re-
verberations. Those factors are programed
into the SFC circuitry to recreate the acous-
tics of various performance settings.
% Press AUDIO to select the desired SFC
mode.
Press c or d repeatedly to switch between the
following modes:
MUSICAL (musical)—DRAMA (drama)—
ACTION (action)—JAZZ (jazz)—HALL (hall)—
CLUB (club)—OFF (off)
Note
If the source is a 2-channel LPCM audio or a 2-
channel Dolby Digital audio and you select SFC
effects that are most applicable for 5.1-channel
audio (i.e., MUSICAL, DRAMA or ACTION), we
recommend turning Dolby Pro Logic II on. On the
other hand, when selecting SFC effects that are
intended for use with 2-channel audio (i.e., JAZZ,
HALL or CLUB), we recommend turning Dolby
Pro Logic II off.
Using the down-mix function
The down-mix function allows you to play back
multi-channel audio in 2 channels.
1 Press AUDIO to select Lo/Ro.
# If the down mix Lt/Rt has been previously se-
lected, Lt/Rt will be displayed.
2 Press c or d to switch the down mix
settings.
! Lt/Rt – Down mix so that the surround
components can be restored (decoded).
! Lo/Ro – Stereo mix the original audio that
do not contain channel modes such as sur-
round components.
Using the dynamic range control
The dynamic range refers to the difference be-
tween the largest and softest sounds. The dy-
namic range control compresses this
difference so that you can clearly hear sounds
even at low volume levels.
! The dynamic range control is effective only
on Dolby Digital sounds.
1 Press AUDIO to select DRC.
# When playing other than the DVD disc, you
cannot switch this mode.
