2 Surround parameters e
CINEMA EQ. (Cinema Equalizer):
The Cinema EQ function gently decreases the level
of the extreme high frequencies, compensating for
overly-bright sounding motion picture soundtracks.
Select this function if the sound from the front
speakers is too bright.
This function only works in the Dolby Pro Logic
IIx,
Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital, DTS Surround, DTS
NEO:6 and WIDE SCREEN modes.
D.COMP. (Dynamic Range Compression):
Motion picture soundtracks have tremendous
dynamic range (the contrast between very soft and
very loud sounds). For listening late at night, or
whenever the maximum sound level is lower than
usual, the Dynamic Range 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 or
DTS.) Select one of the four parameters (“OFF”,
“LOW”, “MID” (middle) or “HI” (high)). Set to OFF
for normal listening.
This parameter is displayed only when playing
compatible sources in DTS mode.
LFE (Low Frequency Effect):
This sets the level of the LFE (Low Frequency Effect)
sounds included in the source when playing program
sources recorded in Dolby Digital or DTS.
Program source and adjustment range:
1. Dolby Digital: –10 dB to 0 dB
2. DTS Surround: –10 dB to 0 dB
When DTS encoded movie
software is played,
it is recommended that the LFE LEVEL be set to
0 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.
TONE:
This adjusts the tone control ( page 31).
This can be set individually for the separate surround
mode other than PURE DIRECT, DIRECT and Home
THX Cinema mode.
2 Dialogue Normalization
The dialogue normalization function is activated
automatically when playing Dolby Digital program
sources.
Dialogue normalization is a basic function of Dolby
Digital which automatically normalizes the dialog level
(standard level) of the signals which are recorded at
different levels for different program sources, such as
DVD, DTV and other future formats that will use Dolby
Digital.
When this function is activated, the following
message appears on the main unit’s display:

Digital sources.

• When “Default” is selected and the CURSOR

button is pressed, “CINEMA EQ.” and “D.COMP.”
are automatically turned off, “LFE” is reset, and
“TONE” is set to the default value.
w When you would like to play back with the
“Dolby Digital EX” mode, set AFDM to “OFF”
and select “MTRX ON” with “SB CH OUT”.
Example: When playing software that has a Dolby
Digital EX flag
q When AFDM is set to “ON”, the surround mode
is automatically set to the “DOLBY DIGITAL +
PL
IIx CINEMA” mode. The surround parameter
screen will be displayed.
AFDM (Auto Flag Detect Mode):
• ON:
This function only works with software on which a
special identification signal is recorded. This
software is scheduled to go on sale in the future.
This is a function for automatically playing in the
6.1-channel mode using the surround back
speaker(s) if the software is recorded in Dolby
Digital EX or DTS-ES or in the normal 5.1-channel
mode without using the surround back speaker(s)
when the software is not recorded in Dolby Digital
EX or DTS-ES.
When AFDM is set to “ON” and the EX/ES flag is
detected automatically, the surround mode is fixed
according to the playing program source.
In this case, the “MODE/SB CH OUT” parameter
can not be selected on the surround parameter
screen.
• OFF:
When the identification signal is detected
automatically and you would like to select the
surround mode freely, set AFDM to “OFF”.
In this case the “MODE/SB CH OUT” parameter
can be selected on the surround parameter screen
regardless of the playing program source.
