"Tone Control" menu

Tone

Here you can set the sound (high tones and bass
tones). Possible values: from –10 dB (decrease) to
+10 dB (increase).

Mode

• Dynamic Compr.
Dynamic compensation regulates volume differen-
ces between individual tracks on CDs or other
digital audio sources and ensures that playback is
neither too loud nor too quiet. Possible settings: On
or Off.
• Cinema EQ
This function reduces the percentage of high tones
from the original movie sound mix to perfectly
adapt the sound to the typical acoustics of a living
room. Possible setting: On or Off.

Equalizer

With this function, very fine adjustments within nine
frequency ranges are available. Possible values: from
–20 dB (decrease) to +6 dB (increase) each.
The "Reset" menu item resets all frequency ranges for
the selected channel to zero (neutral).

"Speaker Levels" menu

Here, you can set the relative volume within a range
from "–10" (decrease) to "+10" (increase) for each
speaker.
With the "Test Tone", you can activate and deactivate
pink noise as a neutral test tone and also set the
speaker levels as described above.
We recommend that you use a sound level meter to
optimally adjust the sound level.

"Source Levels" menu

Here, you can set the relative volume within a range
from "–10" (decrease) to "+10" (increase) for each
audio source.

"Audio Mapping" menu

Here, you can set an audio input for each of the four
HDMI inputs and the TV set.
Example: You would like to connect a PC without
HDMI output. With a DVI to HDMI adapter, you trans-
mit the video signal while the audio signal is present
at one of the analogue inputs (AUX) via an RCA cable.
If the HDMI-ARC function is activated for the TV set,
the menu item "TV" will not be available.

"Speaker Setup" menu

Speaker Size

You can set the size of the speakers in use here for
optimal actuation of the speakers. Four configurations
are available:
SSS1 All speakers are small,
subwoofer present.
LSS1 Large front speakers, small center and sur-
round speakers, subwoofer present.
LSS0 Large front speakers, small center and sur-
round speakers, no subwoofer.
LLL1 All speakers are large,

The letters represent the speakers: Front left/right,
center, surround left/right. In this context, S stands
for small and L for large speakers. The last number
stands for the subwoofer (1 = present, 0 = not pres-
ent).
In 3.1 mode, a 0 stands for "not present" concerning
surround (3rd position).
