(Cinema Equalizer):The Cinema EQ function gently decreases the level of the extreme high frequencies, compensating foroverly-bright sounding motion picture soundtracks. Select this function if the sound from the front speakersis too bright.This function only works in the Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital and DTS Surround modes.D.COMP. (Dynamic Range Compression):Motion picture soundtracks have tremendous dynamic range (the contrast between very soft and very loudsounds). For listening late at night, or whenever the maximum sound level is lower than usual, the DynamicRange Compression allows you to hear all of the sounds in the soundtrack (but with reduced dynamic range).(This only works when playing program sources recorded in Dolby Digital.) Select one of the four parameters(“OFF”, “LOW”, “MID” (middle) or “HI” (high)). Set to OFF for normal listening.LFE (Low Frequency Effect):Program source and adjustment range1. Dolby Digital: –10 dB to 0 dB2. DTS Surround: –10 dB to 0 dBWhen Dolby Digital encoded software is played, it is recommended that the LFE LEVEL be set to0 dB for correct Dolby Digital playback.When DTS encoded movie software is played, it is recommended that the LFE LEVEL be set to0 dB for correct DTS playback.When DTS encoded music software is played, it is recommended that the LFE LEVEL be set to-10 dB for correct DTS playback.(Initial)ENGLISH14 DSP SURROUND SIMULATION• This unit is equipped with a high performance DSP (Digital Signal Processor) which uses digital signal processingto synthetically recreate the sound field. One of 7 preset surround modes can be selected according to theprogram source and the parameters can be adjusted according to the conditions in the listening room to achievea more realistic, powerful sound. These surround modes can also be used for program sources not recorded inDolby Surround Pro Logic or Dolby Digital.Surround modes and their features1234567 VIRTUALROCK ARENAJAZZ CLUBVIDEO GAMEMONO MOVIE(NOTE 1)MATRIX5CH STEREOSelect this mode to enjoy a virtual sound field, produced from the front 2-channelspeakers.Use this mode to achieve the feeling of a live concert in an arena with reflectedsounds coming from all directions.This mode creates the sound field of a live house with a low ceiling and hard walls.This mode gives jazz a very vivid realism.Use this to enjoy video game sources.Select this when watching monaural movies for a greater sense of expansion.Select this to emphasize the sense of expansion for music sources recorded in stereo.Signals consisting of the difference component of the input signals (the componentthat provides the sense of expansion) processed for delay are output from the surroundchannel.In this mode, the signals of the front left channel are output from the left surroundchannel, the signals of the front right channel are output from the right surroundchannel, and the same (in-phase) component of the left and right channels is outputfrom the center channel. This mode provides all speaker surround sound, but withoutdirectional steering effects, and works with any stereo program source.Depending on the program source being played, the effect may not be very noticeable.In this case, try other surround modes, without worrying about their names, to create a sound field suited toyour tastes.NOTE 1: When playing sources recorded in monaural, the sound will be one-sided if signals are only input to onechannel (left or right), so input signals to both channels. If you have a source component with only oneaudio output (monophonic camcorder, etc.) obtain a “Y” adaptor cable to split the mono output to twooutputs, and connect to the L and R inputs.NOTE:Only the STEREO mode can be used when playing PCM signals with a sampling frequency of 96 kHz (suchas from DVD-Video discs that contain 24 bit, 96 kHz audio). If such signals are input during playback in oneof the other surround modes, the mode automatically switches to STEREO.If the DTS signals are input during playback in VIRTUAL surround mode, the mode automatically switches toSTEREO.Personal Memory PlusThis set is equipped with a personal memorize function that automatically memorizes the surround modesand input modes selected for the input different sources. When the input source is switched, the modesset for that source last time it was used are automatically recalled.The surround parameters, tone control settings and playback level balance for the different outputchannels are memorized for each surround mode.
