Surround 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
II
x, 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,
DTS, DVD-Audio or Super Audio CD.
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. (See pages 153, 154)
This can be set individually for the separate surround mode other than PURE DIRECT, DIRECT and Home THX Cinema mode.
