Surround and sound setup options
The Room Setup feature (page 20) is designed to give you
a basic surround sound setup, however you can make
more detailed settings that may improve the surround
sound in your listening room. Note that the first setting in
each section is the default.
Front speakers distance setting
Specifies the distance from your listening position to the
front speakers:
•
Front 0.3 m
~
Front 9 m
– Distance can be set in
increments of 0.3 m. The default is 3 m.
Center speaker distance setting
Specifies the distance from your listening position to the
center speaker:
•
Center 0.3 m
~
Center 9 m
– Distance can be set in
increments of 0.3 m. The default is 3 m.
Surround speakers distance setting
Specifies the distance from your listening position to the
surround speakers:
•
Surr. 0.3 m
~
Surr. 9 m
– Distance can be set in
increments of 0.3 m. The default is 3 m.
Note
• Since there is no separate setting for subwoofer
distance, it’s best to place the subwoofer somewhere
near one of the front speakers.
• Settings made here will overwrite settings made
using Room Setup (see
Using the Room Setup
on
page 20). Conversely, using Room Setup again will
overwrite these settings.
Dynamic Range Control
When watching Dolby Digital material at low volume, it’s
easy to lose low level sounds completely—including
some of the dialog. Switching on Audio DRC (Dynamic
Range Control) can help by bringing up the low level
sounds, while controlling high level peaks.
•
DRC Off
– No dynamic range adjustment (use when
listening at higher volume)
•
DRC Mid
– Mid setting
•
DRC High
– Dynamic range is reduced (loud sounds
are reduced in volume while quieter sounds are
increased)
