settings.
Adaptive DRC (Adaptive dynamic range control)
Use this feature to adjust the dynamic range in
conjunction with the volume level. This feature is useful
when you are listening at lower volumes or at night. When
“Adaptive DRC” is set to “Auto”, this unit controls the
dynamic range as follows:
– If the VOLUME setting is low: the dynamic range is
narrow
– If the VOLUME setting is high: the dynamic range
is wide
y
• You can also adjust the dynamic range of the bitstream signal
sources by using “Dynamic Range” in “Sound” (page 79).
• This function is also useful for listening with your headphones.
The adaptive dynamic range control feature does not function
when this unit is in the PURE DIRECT mode (page 47).
Adaptive DSP Level (Adaptive DSP effect level)
Use this feature to make fine adjustments of the DSP
effect level (page 69) automatically in conjunction with
the volume level.
Even if you set “Adaptive DSP Level” to “Auto”, this unit does
not change but fine-tunes the specified value of “DSP Level”
(page 69).
Max Volume (Maximum volume)
Use this feature to set the maximum volume level in the main
zone. This feature is useful to avoid the unexpected loud
sound by mistake. For example, the original volume range is
–80.0 dB to +16.5 dB. However, when “Max Volume” is set
to –5.0 dB, the volume range becomes –80.0 dB to –5.0 dB.
Control range: –30.0 dB to +15.0 dB, +
16.5 dB
Control step: 5.0 dB
Initial Volume (Initial volume)
Use this feature to set the volume level of the main zone
when the power of this unit is turned on.
Choices:
Off
, Mute, –80.0 dB to +16.5 dB
Control step: 0.5 dB
• When this unit is in the auto setup procedure, the volume level
is automatically set to 0 dB regardless of the current “Max
Volume” setting.
• The “Max Volume” setting takes priority over the initial volume
setting.
Muting Type (Muting type)
Use this feature to adjust how much the mute function
reduces the output volume (page 38).
Use this menu to adjust the sound parameters.
■
LFE Level (Low-frequency effect level)
Use this feature to adjust the output level of the
LFE (low-frequency effect) channel according to the
capacity of your subwoofer or headphones. The LFE
channel carries low-frequency special effects which are
only added to certain scenes. This setting is effective only
when this unit decodes bitstream signals.
Control range: –20.0 to
0.0
dB
Control step: 1.0 dB

(Headphone low-frequency effect level)
Select to adjust the headphone LFE level.
Depending on the settings of “Bass Out” (page 77), some
signals may not be output at the SUBWOOFER PRE OUT
jacks.
