LEVEL menu parameters

x T. TONE (Test tone)
Lets you adjust the speaker levels and balance while listening to the test tone from your listening position. For details, see 7: Adjusting the speaker levels and balance (TEST TONE) (page 30).
Lets you compress the dynamic range of the sound track. This may be useful when you want to watch movies at low volumes late at night. Dynamic range compression is possible with Dolby Digital sources only. COMP. OFF The dynamic range is not compressed. COMP. STD The dynamic range is compressed as intended by the recording engineer. COMP. MAX The dynamic range is compressed dramatically. Tip
Dynamic range compressor lets you compress the dynamic range of the soundtrack based on the dynamic range information included in the Dolby Digital signal. COMP. STD is the standard setting, but it only enacts light compression. Therefore, we recommend using the COMP. MAX setting. This greatly compresses the dynamic range and lets you view movies late at night at low volumes. Unlike analog limiters, the levels are predetermined and provide a very natural compression.

If you set CAL LOAD in A. CAL menu to LOAD YES, you can adjust the speakers distance in 0.01 meter (1 inch) increment. The distance between the center speaker and the listening position B cannot be more than 1.5 meters (5 feet) closer than the one between the listening position and the front speaker A. Place the speakers so that the difference in the length of B in the following diagram is no more than 1.5 meters (5 feet) closer than the length of A. Example: Adjust the distance B to 4.5 meters (15 feet) or more when the distance A is 6 meters (20 feet). Also, the distance between the surround speakers and the listening position C cannot be more than 4.5 meters (15 feet) closer than the distance between the listening position and the front speakers A. Place the speakers so that the difference in the length of C in the following diagram is no more than 4.5 meters (15 feet) closer than the length of A. Example: Adjust the distance C to 1.5 meters (5 feet) or more when the distance A is 6 meters (20 feet). This is important because incorrect speaker placement is not conductive to the enjoyment of surround sound. Please note that placing the speakers closer than the required will cause a delay in the output of the sound from that speaker. In other words, the speaker will sound like it is farther away.

x HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)

Glossary

x Dolby Digital
Digital audio encoding/decoding technology developed by Dolby Laboratories, Inc. It consists of front (Left/Right), center, surround (Left/Right) and sub woofer channels. It is a designated audio standard for DVD-video and also known as 5.1 channel surround. Since surround information is recorded and reproduced in stereo, more realistic sound with fuller presence is delivered than with Dolby surround.
HDMI is an interface that supports both video and audio on a single digital connection. The HDMI connection carries standard to high definition video signals and multi-channel audio signals to audio/video components, such as HDMI equipped TVs, in digital form without degradation. The HDMI specification supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Contents Protection), a copy protection technology that incorporates coding technology for digital video signals.

x Sampling frequency

x Dolby Pro Logic II
This technology converts 2 channel stereo recorded audio into 5.1 channel for playback. There is a MOVIE mode for movies and MUSIC mode for stereo sources such as music. Old movies encoded in the traditional stereo format can be enhanced with 5.1 channel surround sound.
