Enjoying Dolby Digital sound at
low volume (D. RANGE)
Narrows the dynamic range of the sound track.
Useful for enjoying movies at low volume.
D. RANGE only applies to Dolby Digital
sources.
• COMP. MAX: Compress dynamic range
tully.
• COMP. STD: Compress dynamic range as
intended by the recording engineer.
• COMP. AUTO: Compress dynamic range
automatically.
• COMP. OFF: Does not compress dynamic
range.
Tip
Audio dynamic range compression 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.
You can adjust the distance of the speakers
connected to this receiver.
To set the speaker connection
• CENTER (SUR) YES: Selects when you
connect the speaker.
• CENTER (SUR) NO: Selects when you do
not connect the speaker.

DIST, FR DIST, CNT DIST, SL DIST, SR
DIST, SW DIST) from 3' 3" (1.00 M) to 32' 9"
(10.00 M) in 1 inch (0.1 meter) interval.
Tip
You can ouly adjust the distauce in 0.01 meter
