CHANNEL TRIM
Channel Trim allows you to fine tune the channel levels to
compensate for various soundtrack anomalies. For example, you
may play a movie and find that the center (dialogue) channel is weak,
making the movie hard to follow. Simply trimming the Center channel
up a dB or two can fix the problem. Or another film may have
substantially more bass than normal and trimming the Subwoofer
channel down a dB or two may help balance the sound correctly.
This function can be accessed in two ways. You can press the
TRIM button on the front panel or the remote control, or you can
access this feature through the Main Menu. The Channel Trim
menu is shown below.

Remember to return any channel(s) that you have trimmed back
to the original setting when you are done watching the particular
program. If you find you are continually trimming the same
channel(s) by the same amount for every film, you might want to
consider re-calibrating the speaker levels as shown in the section,
"Channel Calibration" on page 22. Set the levels for the channel(s)
up or down by the amount you normally trim them.
THEATER COMPENSATION
Theater Compensation provides special equalization within any of
the selected DSP modes. Most theatrical soundtracks are mixed on
large dubbing stages for playback in large movie theaters. When
these are played back in your home, they may appear to have too
much treble, sounding harsh and "bright." Theater Compensation
modifies the audio signal to reduce these characteristics and make
the soundtrack reproduction more natural sounding.
Theater Compensation can be accessed from the Main Menu or the
+10 (Hi-EQ) button on the remote.
To turn on Theater Compensation from the Main
Menu:
1. Press the MENU button to enter the Main Menu.
The Main Menu appears and the cursor should be pointing to
INPUT CONFIG.
2. Press the
button until SYSTEM CONFIG is selected.
3. Press the
(Select) button to enter the System
Configuration menu.
The System Configuration menu appears and the cursor should
be pointing to FRONT DISTANCE.
4. Press the
button until THEATER COMPEN is selected.
5. Use the
and
buttons to choose between On and Off.
6. After making your selection, press the MENU button twice
to exit the Main Menu.
