Adjustable parameters
The default settings are in the parentheses.
xBALANCE
• FRNT L___R: (center)
Balance between the front left and right speakers.
• (MHC-DP800AV only) REAR L___R: (center)
Balance between the rear left and right speakers.
Range: 6 dB (L) to 6 dB (R), 13 steps
xLEVEL (MHC-DP800AV only)
•REAR ** dB: (0 dB) Level of the rear speakers.
Range: –6 dB to 6 dB, 1 dB steps
•CTR ** dB: (0 dB)
Level of the center speaker.
Range: –6 dB to 6 dB, 1 dB steps
• SW ** dB: (10 dB) Level of the sub woofer.
Range: –10 dB to 10 dB, 1 dB steps
xLFE
• LFE *****: (0 dB)
Level of the LFE (Low Frequency Effect) channel output.
Range: OFF, –20 dB to 0 dB, 1 dB steps “OFF” cuts the sound of the LFE channel. However, the low frequency sound of the speakers are output from the sub woofer. “–20 dB” to “0 dB” settings allow you to attenuate the LFE signal. “0 dB” outputs the full LFE signal at the mix level determined by the recording engineer.
xD.COMP.
• D.COMP.: (STD)
Dynamic range compression. Range: OFF, 0.1 to 0.9, STD, MAX
“OFF” does not compress the dynamic range. “0.1” to “0.9” settings allow you to compress the dynamic range in small steps. “STD” reproduces the sound track with the dynamic range intended by the recording engineer. “MAX” provides a great compression of the dynamic range.
x T.TONE (MHC-DP800AV only)
• T.TONE: (OFF) Test tone output. Range: OFF, ON
“ON” outputs the test tone from each speaker in sequence. Adjust the LEVEL and BALANCE parameters so that the volume level of the test tone from each speaker sounds the same using the remote from your listening position. Select “OFF” to turn off the test tone.
Notes
•When you adjust the level of the sub woofer, set T.TONE to “OFF”.
•Dynamic range compression is possible with Dolby Digital sources only.
