Audio Menu

the audio performance of the system. These
adjustments can also be made from the front
panel and/or remote control as described in
the Comprehensive Setup and Sound Settings
sections of the manual.
L/R Balance
The BAL item allows you to adjust the left/right
balance of the front speakers with a range of
L –21 to Center and Center to R –21.
• CENTER: The standard setting with the
sound balanced equally between the two
front speakers.
• L (–): Settings indicated by an L followed
by a negative number indicate that the
volume of the left speaker is reduced and
the sound shifted towards the right.
• R (–): Settings indicated by an R followed
by a negative number indicate that the
volume of the right speaker is reduced and
the sound shifted towards the left.
Bass
Adjust the low frequency response of the sys-
tem over a range of –10 to +10. A setting of
0 is flat response with no cut or boost.

over a range of –10 to +10. A setting of 0 is
flat response with no cut or boost.
LFE Attenuation
This setting provides an option to reduce the
level of the Dolby Digital and DTS Low Fre-
quency Effects (LFE) channel from its normal
setting if you hear bass distortion.
• 0dB: The normal setting, reproduces the
LFE channel at its full level.
• –10dB: Reduces the level of the LFE channel
by 10 decibels.
NOTE
: The LFE attenuation setting has no ef-
fect with any input signal other than Dolby
Digital or DTS.
Dynamic Range Compression
Dolby Digital recordings are capable of wide
dynamic range (the difference between the soft-
est and loudest sounds). In some cases, this
may tax amplifiers and/or speakers. In other
cases, you may want to reduce the dynamic
range when listening at low volume levels.
• MID: slightly reduced dynamic range,
roughly comparable to the signal from a
compact disc
• MAX: more heavily reduced dynamic
range, but still comparable to the signal
from a typical VHS Hi-Fi recording.
• OFF: full dynamic range; no compression
NOTE
: The Dynamic Range Compression fea-
ture ONLY affects Dolby Digital signals.
