06 Setting up the receiver

Dynamic range control setting

• Default setting: OFF
Dynamic range is the difference between the
loudest and softest sounds in any given signal.
With this setting, you can compress the
dynamic range, so that low level sounds can be
heard more easily (sounding relatively louder)
yet louder sounds won't be too overbearing.
Press ' or ' to set the dynamic range
•
control (OFF, MAX, or MID).
• When the volume level is increased, set
to OFF.
• When listening at low volumes, set to
MAX for maximum dynamic range
compression.
• Dynamic range control is effective only
when a Dolby Digital signal is being played
back.

Dual mono setting

• Default setting: ch1
The dual mono setting can only be used when
listening to Dolby Digital discs with dual mono
encoding. These discs are not widely used, but
are sometimes used when it is necessary to
have one language on one channel and a
different language on the other. With this
setting you can choose which channel in the
dual mono setting you want to listen to.
You will hear the channel you have selected
(either ch1 or ch2) through your center speaker.
If you don't have a center speaker, you will hear
the channel you have selected through both
front speakers. In the L ch 1. R ch 2 setting, the
left front speaker will play channel 1 and the
right front speaker will play channel 2.
