3 Press the select
level of the channel.
The LFE (low frequency effects) level can be
adjusted within the range of -10~0 dB and
other channel levels within the range of -15 ~
+15 dB.
In general, we recommend the LFE level to
be adjusted to 0 dB.(However, the
recommended LFE level for some early DTS
software is -10 dB.) If the recommended
levels seem too high, lower the setting as
necessary.
4 Repeat this procedure to adjust each channel
level.
Memorizing the adjusted channel levels

Adjusting the sound parameters
While playing digital signals from a Dolby Digital
or DTS program source or listening in Dolby Pro
Logic II Music mode, you can adjust their
parameters for optimum surround effect.
Sound parameters include:
•
DRC—Dynamic Range Compression mode
can be selected only while playing digital
signals from Dolby Digital or DTS source.
This function compresses the dynamic range
of previously specified parts of Dolby Digital
or DTS sound track (with extremely high
volume) to minimize the difference in volume
between the specified and non-specified
parts. This makes it easy to hear all of the
sound track when watching movies at night at
low levels. The DRC mode can be set in 11
steps from OFF (0.0) to MAX (1.0) (default
value is OFF).
Note
In some Dolby Digital or DTS software, the night
mode may not be valid.
•
PANORAMA—Panorama mode can be
selected only while listening in Dolby Pro
Logic II Music mode. This mode extends the
front stereo image to include the surround
speakers for an exciting "wraparound" effect
with side wall imaging. Select "OFF" or "ON"
(default value is OFF).
•
CENTER WIDTH—Center width control can
be selected only while listening in Dolby Pro
Logic II Music mode. This control adjusts the
center image so it may be heard only from
the center speaker, only from the left/right
speakers as a phantom image, or from all
three front speakers to varying degrees. The
control can be set in eight steps from 0 to 7
(default value is 3).
•
DIMENSION—Dimension control can be
selected only while listening in Dolby Pro
Logic II Music mode. This control gradually
adjusts the soundfield either towards the front
or towards the rear. The control can be set in
seven steps from -3 to +3 (default value is 0).
