D.RNG (Adjusting the dynamic range)
Choices: MAX/STD/MIN
Preset position: MAX
* This adjustment is effective only when Dolby Digital is
decoded.
MAX:
“Dynamic range” is the difference between the
maximum level and the minimum level of sounds.
Sounds on a movie originally designed for movie
theaters feature very wide dynamic range. Dolby
Digital technology can modify the original sound
track into a home audio format with this wide
dynamic range unchanged.
In this position, a source encoded with Dolby Digital
is reproduced in the original sound track’s wide
dynamic range providing you with powerful sounds
just like those in a movie theater. Selecting this
position will be even better if you can listen to a
source at a high output level in a room specially
soundproofed for audio/video enjoyment.
STD (Standard):
Powerful sounds of extremely wide dynamic range
are not always suitable for home use. Depending on
the condition of your listening environment, it may
not be possible to increase the sound output level as
high as that in a movie theater. However, at the
normal level suitable for listening to in your room, the
low-level parts of source sound often cannot be
heard well because they will be lost among noise in
your environment. Dolby Digital technology has also
made it possible to reduce an original sound track’s
dynamic range for a home audio format by
“compressing” the sound data.
In this position, a source encoded with sound Dolby
Digital is reproduced in the “compressed” dynamic
range of sound that is suitable for low-level listening.
MIN:
In this position, the dynamic range is more reduced
than in the STD position.
Selecting this position will be effective when you
must listen to a source at a low level.
ADJUSTMENTS IN THE “SET MENU” MODE
The following ten types of functions maximize the performance of your system and expand your enjoyment for audio listening and
video watching.
1.
CNTR (CENTER SPEAKER)
2.
REAR (REAR SPEAKERS)
3.
MAIN (MAIN SPEAKERS)
4.
BASS (LFE/BASS OUT)
5.
M.LVL (MAIN LEVEL)
For details on “CNTR”, “REAR”, “MAIN”, “BASS” and “M.LVL”,
see page 21. (Once you have selected the appropriate modes,
you do not have to change settings unless any alteration is
made in your speaker system.)
LFE [Adjusting the output level of the LFE
(low frequency effect) channel]
Control range: –20 dB to 0 dB (in 1 dB steps)
Preset value: 0 dB
* This adjustment is effective only when Dolby Digital is
decoded and the signals of the selected source encoded with
Dolby Digital contain LFE signals.
This adjusts the output level of the LFE channel. If the LFE
signals are mixed with signals of other channels to output them
from the same speakers, the ratio of the LFE signal level to the
level of the other signals is adjusted.
(See page 5 for details about the LFE channel.)
