Processor Operations
Adjusting the Surround Effect Level
(for Digital Cinema Sound modes only*)
You can adjust the surround effect level. This control
lets you adjust the "presence" of the current Digital
Cinema Sound mode from 0% (no digital cinema
sound effects) to 100% (150%) in 5% steps.
* This adjustment is not possible in the NORMAL
SURROUND or ENHANCED SURROUND mode.
1
Start playing a programme source.
2
Press DIGITAL CINEMA SOUND - MODE on the
remote repeatedly to select the mode you desire.
3
Press EFFECT + or – on the remote to select the
level you prefer. The effect level is indicated in
the display during adjustment. The level is stored
automatically.
Note
Changing the effect level may not produce major variations
in the surround effect when used with certain playback
sources.
You can also adjust the surround effect level using
the controls on the front panel.
Use the MENU and the +/– knobs to adjust the
surround effect level parameter in the SURROUND
menu.
See page 15 for details on menu operations and the
surround effect level parameter.
Compressing the dynamic range (Dolby
Digital (AC-3) only)
When inputting a Dolby Digital (AC-3) signal you can
compress the dynamic range of the sound track by
using the dynamic range compression parameters in
the SURROUND menu. This may be useful when you
want to watch movies at low volumes late at night. See
page 15 for details on menu operations and page 16 for
details on the dynamic range compression parameter.
