Processor Operations
Centre speaker level
Initial setting is : CENT.LEVEL 0 dB
Lets you adjust the level of the centre speaker.
The level can be adjusted in 0.5 dB steps from –20.0 dB to
+10.0 dB.
Selecting MUTE completely mutes the sound (–) from
the centre speaker. In this case, the sound of the centre
channel is not output from the front speakers, etc.
Sub woofer level
Initial setting is : SUB WOOFER 0 dB
Lets you adjust the level of the sub woofer.
The level can be adjusted in 0.5 dB steps from –20.0 dB to
+10.0 dB.
Selecting MUTE mutes the sound from the sub woofer.
SURROUND menu
The SURROUND menu contains parameters that let
you customize various aspects of the current surround
field. The settings available in this menu are stored
separately for each surround field. The parameter
types vary according to the menu mode.
Surround effect level (Digital Cinema Sound modes only)
Initial setting is : SURR.EFFECT 100%
This parameter can be adjusted directly using EFFECT +/–
on the remote. It lets you adjust the “presence” of the current
digital cinema sound surround effect.
The effect level can be adjusted from 0% (no digital
cinema sound effects) to 100% (150%) in 5% steps.
Low Frequency Effect (LFE) mix level (DISCRETE only)
Initial setting is : LFE MIX. 0dB
This parameter 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, centre or rear channels via the
bass redirection circuitry.
The level can be adjusted in 0.5 dB steps from –20.0 dB to
0 dB (line level). 0 dB outputs the full LFE signal at the
mix level determined by the recording engineer.
Selecting MUTE mutes the sound of the LFE channel from
the sub woofer. However, the low frequency sounds of the
front, centre, or rear speakers are output from the sub
woofer according to the settings made for each speaker in
the speaker setup (page 8).
Dynamic range compression ratio
Initial setting is : D.RANGE COMP OFF
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.
OFF reproduces the sound track with no compression.
STD reproduces the sound track with the full dynamic
range as intended by the recording engineer.
0.1 ~ 0.9 allow you to compress the dynamic range in
small steps to achieve the sound you desire.
MAX provides a dramatic compression of the dynamic
range.
During playback of MPEG sources, the compression radio
is fixed (STD, 0.1 ~ 0.9, and MAX all produce the same
effect).
Tone Control (on/off) •Basic mode only•
Initial setting is : TONE CONTROL OFF
Lets you turn the BASS and TREBLE tone control
adjustments ON or OFF. You can use this setting to compare
the sound of the BASS and TREBLE adjustments with that of
the original signal.
OFF flattens the frequency characteristics of all channels
simultaneously. If you adjust the bass or treble levels after
setting the tone control to OFF, the sound quality changes
from the flat (0 dB) position.
ON restores the frequency characteristics to the values
present before the tone control was set to OFF.
Bass level adjustment •Basic mode only•
Initial setting is : BASS 0 dB
Lets you adjust the level of the bass frequencies of the front
(left and right), centre, and rear (left and right) channels
simultaneously. To adjust the LFE channel, see “Low
Frequency Extension (LFE) mix level”.
The level can be adjusted ±10 dB in 1 dB steps.
The “0dB” setting represents line level (0 dB).
Treble level adjustment •Basic mode only•
Initial setting is : TREBLE 0 dB
Lets you adjust the level of the treble frequencies of the front
(left and right), centre, and rear (left and right) channels
simultaneously.
The level can be adjusted ±10 dB in 1 dB steps.
The “0dB” setting represents line level (0 dB).
