• Signals encoded in Dolby Digital can only be played in
the Auto decode (Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II or
Auto stereo), Direct, stereo or virtual modes. Other
modes do not work when playing Dolby Digital signals.
• DTS signals can only be played in the Auto decode
(DTS), Direct or stereo modes. Other modes do not
work when playing DTS signals.
• DTS signals can also be played in the “DTS” input
mode. (See page 19.) 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.
Stop operating buttons once the surround parameter
settings have been completed. After several seconds the
normal display reappears and the settings are
automatically set.
