Basic Operation
2Surround parameters e
CINEMA EQ. (Cinema Equalizer):
The Cinema EQ function gently decreases the level of the
extreme high frequencies, compensating for overly-bright
sounding motion picture soundtracks. Select this function if
the sound from the front speakers is too bright.
This function only works in the Dolby Pro Logic IIx, Dolby
Pro Logic, Dolby Digital, DTS Surround, DTS NEO:6 and
WIDE SCREEN modes.
D.COMP. (Dynamic Range Compression):
Motion picture soundtracks have tremendous dynamic
range (the contrast between very soft and very loud
sounds). For listening late at night, or whenever the
maximum sound level is lower than usual, the Dynamic
Range Compression allows you to hear all of the sounds in
the soundtrack (but with reduced dynamic range). (This
only works when playing program sources recorded in
Dolby Digital or DTS.) Select one of the four parameters
(“OFF”, “LOW”, “MID” (middle) or “HI” (high)). Set to
OFF for normal listening.
This parameter is displayed only when playing compatible
sources in DTS mode.
LFE (Low Frequency Effect):
This sets the level of the LFE (Low Frequency Effect)
sounds included in the source when playing program
sources recorded in Dolby Digital or DTS.
Program source and adjustment range:
1. Dolby Digital: –10 dB to 0 dB
2. DTS Surround: –10 dB to 0 dB
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.
TONE:
This adjusts the tone control ( page 63).
This can be set individually for the separate surround mode
other than PURE DIRECT, DIRECT and Home THX Cinema
mode.
2Dialogue Normalization
The dialogue normalization function is activated
automatically when playing Dolby Digital program sources.
Dialogue normalization is a basic function of Dolby Digital
which automatically normalizes the dialog level (standard
level) of the signals which are recorded at different levels
for different program sources, such as DVD, DTV and other
future formats that will use Dolby Digital.
When this function is activated, the following message
appears on the main unit’s display:
