x D.B.F.B. XXX
(Dynamic Bass Feedback)
Lets you reinforce the bass and treble of the selected
input.
• ON
The front speaker's bass and treble level are
reinforced.
• OFF
The front speaker's bass and treble level are not
reinforced.
Tips
• You can also use the D.B.F.B. button on the receiver.
• When the Dynamic Bass Feedback is activated, the
D.B.F.B. indicator lights up.
Note
This parameter is not valid when PCM 96 kHz signal
is input.
x COMP. XXX
D.RANGE
(Dynamic range compressor)
Lets you compress the dynamic range of the sound
track. This may be useful when you want to watch
movies at low volumes late at night.
• OFF
The dynamic range is not compressed.
• STD
The dynamic range is compressed as intended by the
recording engineer.
• MAX
The dynamic range is compressed dramatically.
Tip
Dynamic range compressor lets you compress the
dynamic range of the soundtrack based on the dynamic
range information included in the Dolby Digital signal.
"COMP. STD" is the standard setting, but it only
enacts light compression. Therefore, we recommend
using the "COMP. MAX" setting. This greatly
compresses the dynamic range and lets you view
movies late at night at low volumes. Unlike analog
limiters, the levels are predetermined and provide a
very natural compression.
Note
Dynamic range compression is possible with Dolby
Digital sources only.
x EFCT. XXX (Effect level)
Initial setting: STD
Lets you adjust the "presence" of the surround effect in
3 levels - MIN (minimum effect), STD (standard
effect) and MAX (maximum effect).
Note
This parameter is valid only when you use a sound
field selected with the MOVIE or MUSIC button.
