Advanced Sound Control
Stereo
The Stereo mode uses the two main channel outputs from
the front speakers.
DSP (Digital Sound Processor)
These digital sound effects resemble sounds in a real
environment such as Arena, Jazz, Theater, Stadium and
Disco. DSP automatically converts analog audio signals to
digital ones which enables you to adjust the sound without
degrading the sound quality. Different modes will give you
different feel of size and type of listening environment.
(Not available in Dolby Digital (DVD))
Night Mode
By using Dynamic Range Compression technology (pressing
SHIFT and OK), you can enjoy enhanced Dolby Digital sound
quality at night without interrupting your roommates or
neighbors. Night Mode will compress the difference in vol-
ume between normal voices and sound like explosions,
while still enjoying a Dolby Digital enable component (DVD,
SAT). Night Mode can be activated by pressing the
SHIFT
button then the
OK
button repeatedly until NORMAL
appears on the display. While Normal is still on the display,
press the

Adjustment buttons on the remote
control,around the OK button, on the remote control until
you select the desired mode. Night mode can also be acti-
vated by pressing the
AUDIO
button, then

button
repeatedly then

are three modes (NORMAL, SOFT, SOFTER) for you to
choose the extents of compression.
