Dynamic Range Control
This setting controls the dynamic range of Dolby Digital or DTS movie
soundtracks by compressing the dynamics in four stages to limit the
difference in level between loud and quiet passages in the movie.
This can be a useful feature when watching movies late at night for
instance. Four settings are possible:
DRC=0/4 No Compression (normal full dynamic range playback)
DRC=1/4
DRC=2/4
DRC=3/4
DRC=4/4 Greatest Compression (reduced dynamic range playback)
DRC can be accessed by the Dynamic button on the remote, DRC=0/4
etc is displayed, pressing the button again moves to the next setting.
When finished make no adjustment for a few seconds and the 640R will
save the settings and exit the menu.
Note: DRC only works for Dolby Digital or DTS source material which
supports this feature.
ProLogic IIx adjustments
The following adjustments affect Dolby Prologic II or IIx processing (or
post-processing) in Music mode only. Movie and Game modes where
available are preset as part of their specification to match the encoding
or provide a specific effect. These adjustments have no affect in these
modes.
Panorama
mode
-A Prologic II/IIx mode that extends the front Stereo
image to the surround sound speakers for a more enveloping
experience. This mode can be either On or Off.
Centre
Width
-Allows gradual adjustment of the centre image from
being produced only by the Centre speaker (Setting 0) through levels of
being spread between the centre channel and Left and Right speakers
to finally being produced by the Front Left and Right speakers only
(Phantom Centre, Setting 7). Useful in optimising the
Front/Centre/Right soundfield for best integration of the 3 speakers.
Best tuned by ear.
Dimension
-Adjusts the soundfield to be gradually shifted from the front
of the room to the back to suit taste, speaker positioning and size of
room. Setting 0 has the image furthest forward, 6 furthest back.
All three adjustments are a matter of personal preference, experiment
for the settings that you prefer if you are using PLII or PLIIx decoding.
