3. Press the ENTER/SCAN button to select a speaker.
You can adjust the level in the range of –12dB to +12dB.
You cannot select a speaker if the CONFIG parameter of the
speaker is set to NO or NONE.
If the speaker level is set to +1dB or higher, the maximum level
indicated on the display will change if you raise the volume
level. Refer to “About volume (VOLUME)”on page 20 for more
information.
When you turn off the power, the level will be reset to the origi-
nal level (the value you set using the test tone).
When you press the TEST button after you set the level, the cur-
rent level will be used as the value set via the test tone.
Note:
•
Select a digital input to play Dolby digital or DTS sound
sources. (See page 18.)
•
You cannot select Orchestra, Unplugged, Studio-Mix, TV
Logic, or 5CH Stereo if you have selected a Dolby digital or
DTS surround source.
•
To play a Dolby digital or DTS Surround source, you need to
connect the sound source using the digital input connector.
•
When you play the Dolby Digital or DTS Surround source, the
DTR-5 automatically enters Dolby Digital Surround (stereo) or
DTS Surround (stereo) mode respectively.
The following parameters are available for each Listening mode.
LATE NIGHT
If you play a movie at a low volume at night, set this parameter to
“ON” to narrow the dynamic range of the sound to make it easier to
hear.
The Late Night function works only with source material that con-
tains necessary Dolby Digital information.
Note:
•
The Late Night effect is determined by each Dolby Digital
sound. Some sounds may produce no or little effect.
•
The Late Night function is effective only on the Dolby Digital
sound.
While the Dolby Digital sound is playing, press the LATE NIGHT/
FRONT EFFECT button. The current setting appears on the dis-
play. (LATE NIGHT=ON or OFF)
Pressing the LATE NIGHT/FRONT EFFECT button repeatedly
will toggle between ON and OFF.
FRONT EFFECT
Some live recordings contain acoustic reverberation. When you
play these sources, more reverberation will be applied by the DSP,
creating too much reverb effects and the sound loses its frame or
presence. In this case, set FRONT EFFECT to OFF. No reverbera-
tion from the DSP will be applied to the sound output from three
front channels, and the sound source will be played as it is without
any further reverberation.
Note:
The Front Effect function is effective only on the Orchestra,
Unplugged, Studio-Mix, and TV Logic sound.
While Orchestra, Unplugged, Studio-Mix, or TV Logic is selected
for Listening mode, press the LATE NIGHT/FRONT EFFECT but-
ton. The current setting appears on the display. (FRT EFFECT=ON
or OFF)
Pressing the LATE NIGHT/FRONT EFFECT button repeatedly
will toggle between ON and OFF.
Re-EQ
Cinema Re-Equalization
Re-Equalization takes the edginess or “brightness” out of your
home cinema sound, compensating for the fact that sound mixed
for theaters will sound too bright when played back through speak-
ers in the home environment.
While the Dolby ProLogic Surround, Dolby Digital Surround, or
DTS Surround sound is playing, press the Re-EQ button. The cur-
rent setting appears on the display. (RE-EQ=ON or OFF)
Pressing the Re-EQ button repeatedly will toggle between ON and
OFF.
Note:
The Re-EQ function is effective on the Dolby ProLogic Surround,
Dolby Digital Surround, and DTS Surround sound.
LFE (Low Frequency Effect) Level Control
This control function enables you to adjust the level of LFE in the
Dolby Digital/DTS Surround sound.
Note:
The LFE Level Control function is effective only on the Dolby
Digital/DTS Surround sound.
Dolby Digital sound:
Press the LFE LEVEL CONTROL button repeatedly to select 0dB,
–10dB, or –00dB (–
∞
). “0dB” is recommended. If the low range
sounds too loud for your taste, select 10dB or –00dB (–
∞
).
DTS sound:
Press the LFE LEVEL CONTROL button repeatedly to select
+10dB, 0dB, or –00dB (–
∞
). “+10dB” is recommended for
cinema sound sources. If the low range sounds too loud for
your taste, select 0dB or –00dB (–
∞
). “0dB” is recommended
for music sound source. If the low range sounds too loud for
your taste, select –00dB (–
∞
).
