The Menu System
Left, Right (Front Speakers)
Front speakers carry primarily music and sound effects.
Center
In surround mode, the center speaker carries most of the dialog as well as music and effects. It
should be set between the left and right speakers.
Surround (Rear Speakers)
The rear speakers’ overall sound balance should be as close as possible to the front speakers.
Proper placement is vital to establish an evenly distributed sound field.
Subwoofer
A subwoofer is designed to reproduce powerful low bass effects (explosions, the rumble of
spaceships, etc.) which dramatically heighten the action on the screen.
Dynamic Range Control
This option compresses the dynamic range (quietest sound to loudest sound) of a disc’s soundtrack. The Range
Control feature evens out the volume by making loud sounds quieter and soft sounds louder.
• On
When Dynamic range control is on, the difference between loud and soft noises is lessened. The sound is
more even.
• Off
When Dynamic range is off, the sound is as it was recorded.
Note: This function is effective only in playback of Dolby Digital recorded HD DVD or DVD video discs.
The effect of this option varies depending on the disc.
Dialog Enhancement
This option changes the dialog volume on a DVD disc.
• On
When this option is on, the volume of dialog is increased.
• Off
When this option is off, dialog is as it was recorded.
Note: This function works only in playback of Dolby Digital recorded HD DVD or DVD video discs. The
effect of this option varies depending on the disc.
This function works only when speaker setting is set to 2 ch.
