Surround sound and other settings
Dynamic Range Control
Specifies the amount of dynamic range
adjustment to Dolby Digital or DTS
soundtracks:
• DRC Off – No dynamic range adjustment
(use when listening at higher volume)
• DRC Mid. – Mid setting
• DRC High – Dynamic range is reduced
(loud sounds are reduced in volume while
quieter sounds are increased)
• This setting works only with Dolby Digital
and some DTS soundtracks. For other
sources you can create a similar effect
using the Midnight mode (see Using Quiet
and Midnight listening modes on page 41).
Dual mono setting
Specifies how dual mono encoded Dolby
Digital or DTS soundtracks should be played.
You can also use this setting to switch the
audio channel on DVD-RW discs recorded with
two separate soundtracks.
• L-Ch1 R-Ch2 – Both channels are played
through the front speakers
• Ch1 Mono – Only channel 1 is played
• Ch2 Mono – Only channel 2 is played
• On the Ch1 Mono and Ch2 Mono settings
the sound comes only from the center
speaker (or from the front speakers if
listening in STEREO mode).
• This setting works only with dual mono
encoded Dolby Digital or DTS soundtracks.
See the disc packaging for channel
information.
LFE attenuator setting
Dolby Digital and DTS audio sources include
ultra-low bass tones. Set the LFE attenuator as
needed to prevent the ultra-low bass from
distorting the sound.
• LFE ATT 0 – The LFE channel is played with
no attenuation
• LFE ATT 10 – LFE channel is attenuated by
10dB
• LFE Off – LFE channel is not played
