Customizing sound fields (continued)
Surround right level (SUR.R. XXX dB)
Lets you adjust the level of the surround right
speaker.
Sub woofer level (S.W. XXX dB)
Lets you adjust the level of the sub woofer.
LFE (Low Frequency Effect) mix
level (L.F.E. XXX dB)
Lets you attenuate the level of the LFE (Low
Frequency Effect) channel output from the sub
woofer without effecting the level of the bass
frequencies sent to the sub woofer from the
front, center or surround channels via the
Dolby Digital or DTS bass redirection
circuitry.
• For LFE mix level, “0 dB” outputs the full LFE
signal at the mix level determined by the
recording engineer.
• To mute the sound of the LFE channel from the
sub woofer, select “OFF”. However, the low
frequency sounds of the front, center, or
surround speakers are output from the sub
woofer according to the settings made for each
speaker in the speaker setup (pages 15–18).
Dynamic range compressor (
D. RANGE
COMP. XXX)
Lets you compress the dynamic range of the
sound track. This may be useful when you want
to watch movies at low volumes late at night.
We recommend using the “MAX” setting.
• To reproduce the sound track with no
compression, select “OFF”.
• To reproduce the sound track with the dynamic
range intended by the recording engineer, select
“STD”.
• To compress the dynamic range in small steps
to achieve the sound you desire, select “0.1”–
“0.9”.
• To reproduce a dramatic compression of the
dynamic range, select “MAX”.
Note
Dynamic range compression is possible with Dolby
Digital sources only.
