x PHASE NOISE (Phase noise)
Initial setting: OFF
Lets you output the test tone sequentially from adjacent
speakers.
x PHASE AUDIO (Phase audio)
Initial setting: OFF
Lets you output the front 2 channel source sound
(instead of the test tone) sequentially from adjacent
speakers. When i.LINK input is selected, this function
is unavailable.
x SUB WOOFER TRIM (Sub woofer trim
adjustment)
Initial setting: 0 dB
Lets you adjust the level of the sub woofer when the
signals of sub woofer channel is input. Use this
parameter to adjust the sub woofer level when
connecting headphones or when the sub woofer is not
connected. You can adjust from –6 dB to +6 dB in 1 dB
steps.
x CENTER TRIM X.X dB (Center speaker trim
adjustment)
Initial setting: 0 dB
Lets you adjust the output of the center speaker.
Increase this parameter if you are having trouble
hearing the dialogue. If you did not install a center
speaker, this parameter adjusts the level of the center
channel as it is mixed with the sound of the front
speakers. You can adjust from –3 dB to +3 dB in 0.5
dB steps.
Notes
• “SUB WOOFER TRIM” and “CENTER TRIM” can
be adjusted only when the center speaker is set to
“MIX”.
• “SUB WOOFER TRIM” and “CENTER TRIM” do
not function for Super Audio CD signals from an
i.LINK component, MULTI CH IN signals, or DTS
96/24 decoded signals.
x D.RANGE COMP.
(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.
“STD” is the standard setting, but it only enacts light
compression.
Therefore, 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.
