Surround speaker distance setting · Default setting: 1. 8 m Like the center speaker, you should set the distance of the surround speakers accurately to hear sounds coming from both front and surround speakers at the same time. · Use / to set the distance of the surround speakers from the main listening position (within a 9 meter range). · The setting display is automatically exited after 20 seconds of inactivity. Front speaker distance setting · Default setting: 1. 8 m Sets the distance from the front speakers to the listening position. · Use / to set the distance of the front speakers from the main listening position (within a 9 meter range). Dynamic range control setting · Default setting: OFF Dynamic range is the difference between the loudest and softest sounds in any given signal. With this setting, you can compress the dynamic range, so that low level sounds can be heard more easily (sounding relatively louder) yet louder sounds won't be too overbearing. · Press / to set the dynamic range control (OFF, MID or HIGH). Center speaker distance setting · Default setting: 1. 5 m The center speaker is normally placed directly in the front of the listening room and closer to the listening position than the front speakers. This means that the sound from the center speaker will be heard before the front speakers. To prevent this, set the center speaker distance setting to delay the sound from the center speaker so that the sound from the front and center speakers will be heard at the same time. · Use / to set the distance of the center speaker from the main listening position (within a 9 meter range). · When the volume level is increased, set to OFF. · When listening at low volumes, set to HIGH for maximum dynamic range compression. · Dynamic range control is effective only when a Dolby Digital signal is being played back. 40 En Setting up for surround sound 06 Dual mono setting · Default setting: L-CH1 R-CH 2 The dual mono setting can only be used when listening to Dolby Digital discs with dual mono encoding. These discs are not widely used, but are sometimes used to seperate the backing track from the vocals on karaoke discs. With this setting you can choose which channel in the dual mono setting you want to listen to. You will hear the channel you have selected (either CH1 or CH2) through your center speaker. If surround sound is switched off, you will hear the channel you have selected through both front speakers. In the L-CH1 RCH 2 setting, the left front speaker will play channel 1 and the right front speaker will play channel 2. · Use / to cycle through the possible dual mono settings. Setting the relative volume level of each channel · Default setting (European model only): RS/LS: +2dB SW: +1dB All other channels: 0dB · Default setting (all other models): All channels: 0db For best surround sound playback, you should set the relative channel levels from the main listening position. The test tone is output in the following order: English L-CH1 R-CH2 CH2 MONO CH1 MONO FL SW C LS FR RS LFE attenuator setting · Default setting: 0 dB Dolby Digital and DTS audio sources include ultra-low bass tones.
