By adjusting the LEVEL menu, you can
customize the sound fields to suit your particular
listening situation.

Note on the displayed items

The setup items you can adjust in each menu vary
depending on the sound field. Certain setup parameters
may be dimmed in the display. This means that the
selected parameter is either unavailable or fixed and
unchangeable.

Adjusting the LEVEL menu

You can adjust the balance and level of each
speaker. These settings are applied to all sound
fields except for the effect level parameter. The
effect level parameter settings are stored
individually for each sound field.

1

Start playing a source encoded with
multi channel surround effects (DVD,
etc.).

2

Press MAIN MENU repeatedly to select
“

LEVEL

”.

3

Press

or

repeatedly to select the

parameter you want to adjust.

For details, see “LEVEL menu parameters”
below.

4

While monitoring the sound, press

or

repeatedly to select the setting

you want.

The setting is entered automatically.

5

Repeat steps 3 and 4 to adjust the other
parameters.

LEVEL menu parameters

The initial setting is underlined.

x

BAL. L/R XX

(Front speaker balance)

Initial setting: BALANCE (0)

Lets you adjust the balance between front left and right
speakers. You can adjust in the range of BAL. L (+1 to
+8), BALANCE (0), BAL. R (+1 to +8) in 17 steps.

x

CTR XXX dB
(Center speaker level)

x

SUR.L. XXX dB
(Surround speaker (left) level)

x

SUR.R. XXX dB
(Surround speaker (right) level)

x

S.W. XXX dB
(Sub woofer level)

Initial setting: 0 dB

You can adjust from –10 dB to +10 dB in 1 dB steps.

x

COMP. XXX

(Dynamic range compressor)

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

The dynamic range is not compressed.

• STD

The dynamic range is compressed as intended by the
recording engineer.

• MAX

The dynamic range is compressed dramatically.

Tip

Dynamic range compressor lets you compress the
dynamic range of the soundtrack based on the dynamic
range information included in the Dolby Digital signal.
We recommend using the “MAX” setting. This greatly
compresses the dynamic range and lets you view
movies late at night at low volumes. Unlike analog
limiters, the levels are predetermined and provide a
very natural compression.

Note

Dynamic range compression is possible with Dolby
Digital sources only.

x

EFCT. XXX (Effect level)

Initial setting: STD

Lets you adjust the “presence” of the surround effect.
