8. DYNAMIC RANGE (Adjusting dynamic range)
Choices: MAX/STD/MIN
Preset position: MAX
MAX: “Dynamic range” is the difference between the maximum
level and the minimum level of sounds. Sounds on a movie
originally designed for movie theaters feature very wide
dynamic range.
Dolby Digital (AC-3) technology can bring the original
sound track into a home audio format with this wide
dynamic range unchanged.
In this position, a source encoded with the Dolby Digital
(AC-3) is reproduced in the original sound track’s wide
dynamic range providing you with powerful sounds like a
movie theater.
Selecting this position will be more ideal if you can listen to
a source in a high output level in a room specially
soundproofed for audio/video enjoyment.
STD (Standard):
Powerful sounds of extremely wide dynamic range are not
always suitable for home use. Depending upon the
condition of your listening environment, it may not possible
to increase the sound output level as high as a movie
theater, however, in a level proper for listening to in your
room, the low level parts of source sound cannot be heard
as well because they will be lost among noises in your
environment.
Dolby Digital (AC-3) technology also makes it possible to
reduce an original sound track’s dynamic range for a home
audio format by “compressing” the data.
In this position, a source encoded with the Dolby Digital
(AC-3) is reproduced in the “compressed” dynamic range
of the source suitable for low level listening.
MIN: In this position, dynamic range is more reduced than in the
STD position. Selecting this position will be effective when
you must listen to a source in extremely low level.
9. OUTPUT TRIM (Adjusting the whole level of signals
output from this unit)
Control range: –9 dB to 9 dB (in 1 dB step)
Preset value: 0 dB
Adjusts the whole level of signals output from the 6CH
DISCRETE OUTPUT jacks on the rear of this unit.
Memory back up
Setting changes and adjustments you made the last time will
remain memorized even if the power of this unit is switched off
or the power cord is disconnected. However, if the power is not
supplied for more than about two weeks, they will be
automatically changed back to the original settings.
