Surround parameters (3)
D.COMP. (Dynamic Range Compression):
• Motion picture soundtracks have tremendous
dynamic range (the contrast between very soft and
0
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.)
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 range
1. Dolby Digital:
–10 dB to 0 dB
2. DTS Surround: –10 dB to 0 dB
• When Dolby Digital encoded software is played, it is
recommended that the LFE LEVEL be set to 0 dB for
correct Dolby Digital playback.
• 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.
