Channel level setting

The Auto MCACC feature (see page 24) should give you the best surround sound setup. However you may find that by further adjustment of the channel levels you can improve the surround sound in your listening room. This method of setting the channel levels allows you to listen to a source and adjust the levels of each playback channel. Note that the channel level settings for stereo playback are independent of the settings for surround sound playback. A further method of setting the channel levels is to use the test tone method. See Adjusting the channel levels using the test tone on page 32 for more on this.
3 Use / to select a speaker; distance. Adjust the following speakers: L Front left speaker C Center speaker R Front right speaker SR Surround right speaker SL Surround left speaker SW Subwoofer
Each speaker can be adjusted from 0.3 m to 9.0 m. 4 Press ENTER when youre finished. If you use the Auto MCACC feature again, it will overwrite the settings you have made here.

Dynamic Range Control1
When watching Dolby Digital or DTS material at low volume, low level sounds including some of the dialog can be difficult to hear properly.

Adjusting the channel levels using the test tone
If you prefer, you can set the channel levels using a test tone as a reference, rather than playing a source (see Channel level setting on page 31). A test tone is played through each speaker in turn, allowing you to adjust the level as it plays. Note that the channel level settings for stereo sources are independent of the settings for surround sound sources.
3 Use / to select a setting. Select one of the following: DRC OFF (default) 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) 4 Press ENTER to exit.

Dual mono setting2

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 bilingual audio. 1 Press SETUP.
1 Press SURROUND to select the Auto listening mode. If you want to set the channel levels for stereo (two channel) playback, select the STEREO listening mode. 2 Press TEST TONE. The test tone is output from each speaker in turn. 3 While a test tone is playing, use the / buttons to adjust that channel level. The aim is to adjust the levels so that you hear the test tone at the same volume from each speaker. You can adjust the level of each channel by 10 dB. You can adjust the overall volume of test tone output using the VOLUME +/ buttons (this does not affect the channel level settings). If the system is in Stereo or Virtual mode, you will not be able to adjust the center or surround channels. Because of the ultra low frequencies the subwoofer produces, it may sound quieter than it really is. We suggest adjusting the subwoofer level while listening to a source. See the method described in Channel level setting on page 31. 4 When youre done, press ENTER to exit test tone setup. If you use the Auto MCACC feature again, it will overwrite the settings you have made here.

Important An HDMI connection can only be made with DVIequipped components compatible with both DVI and High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP). If you choose to connect to a DVI connector, you will need a DVI to HDMI adaptor cable. A DVI to HDCP connection, however, does not support audio. Consult your local audio dealer for more information. The HDMI connection is compatible with 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 96 kHz, 16 bit/20 bit/24 bit 2-channel linear PCM signals, as well as Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG audio bitstream. If your connected component is only compatible with Linear PCM, the signal is output as Linear PCM (DTS audio is not output).

Copying from a DV source

Using the recorders remote, you can control both the camcorder and this recorder. Important Some camcorders cannot be controlled using this recorders remote.
For best results when recording from a DV camcorder to this recorder, we recommend cueing the camcorder to the place you want to start recording from and setting the camcorder to play-pause.
1 Make sure your DV camcorder is connected to the front panel DV IN jack. Also, set the camcorder to VTR mode.
4 Start playback on the camcorder. Images from the camcorder should appear on your TV. To record the incoming video, press HDD/DVD to select the HDD or a DVD for recording, then press REC. Press STOP REC to finish recording. If there is no signal from the device connected to the DV jack, or the signal is copy-protected, recording will pause. It will automatically restart once there is a recordable signal. The recorder will only start recording from the DV IN jack if there is a valid signal. Recording will pause if the signal is interrupted during recording. If your source is copy-protected using Copy Guard, you will not be able to record it. See Restrictions on video recording on page 80 for more details.
3 From the Initial Setup menu, check that the DV audio input is setup as you would like. See DV Input on page 140 for more on this. Check also that the Audio In settings for External Audio and Bilingual Recording are as you want them (see Audio In on page 140).
