ENGLISH 51 Surround parameters (1) DOLBY VS (Dolby Virtual Speaker mode)•REF (Reference mode) This is the standard mode. • WIDE (Wide mode) This mode expands the front channel sound field. D.COMP. (Dynamic range compression) •This parameter adjusts the dynamic range of the Dolby Digital or DTS sound. When listening with the volume turned relatively low, at night for example, set this to the “HI” side to lower the peak of the sound and amplify the quieter sounds, narrowing the dynamic range and making the sound easier to listen to. Set to “OFF” to turn this function off. • With DTS sources, only displayed for sources compatible with dynamic range compression. LFE (Low Frequency Effect): •Program source and adjustment range 1. Dolby Digital : –10 dB to 0 dB 2. DTS Surround : –10 dB to 0 dB • When Dolby Digital encoded software is played, it is recommended that the LFE LEVEL be set to 0 dB for correct Dolby Digital playback. • When DTS encoded movie software is played, it is recommended that the LFE LEVEL be set to 0 dB for correct DTS playback. • When DTS encoded music software is played, it is recommended that the LFE LEVEL be set to –10 dB for correct DTS playback.

ENGLISH 53 Surround parameters (2) 1. VIRTUAL1 (Virtual 1 mode)In this mode, 2-channel sources are played with Dolby Pro Logic II Cinema processing. This mode is suited for playing movie sources recorded in Dolby Surround and regular stereo sources. 2. VIRTUAL2 (Virtual 2 mode) In this mode, 2-channel sources are played with Dolby Pro Logic processing. This mode is compatible with regular Dolby Pro Logic playback. With it, the recorded playback image of sources recorded in Dolby Surround is recreated faithfully. NOTE: •If noise is generated for interactive and other high bit rate sources when playing DVDs or D.AUX digital input signals in the Dolby Virtual Speaker mode, set “LINE-1/LINE-2 REC OUT” under “[5] Function settings” at “SYSTEM SETUP” on pages 38 and 39 to “Off”. (When this is done, analog recording in the Dolby Virtual Speaker mode is not possible.) (2) Playing in the DENON original surround modes • This unit is equipped with a high performance DSP (Digital Signal Proce\ ssor) which uses digital signal processing to synthetica lly recreate the sound field. One of 3 preset surround modes can be selected according to\ the program source and the parameters can be adjusted according to the conditions in the listening room to achieve a more realistic, pow\ erful sound. These surround modes can also be used for program sources not recorded in Dolby Surround Pro Logic or Dolby Digital. * 1 * 2 * 3 ROCK ARENA JAZZ CLUBVIDEO GAME Use this mode to achieve the feeling of a live concert in an arena with \ reflected sounds coming from all directions. This mode creates the sound field of a live house with a low ceiling and\ hard walls. This mode gives jazz a very vivid realism. Use this to enjoy video game sources. Depending on the source being played, the effect may not be very strong.\ In such cases, try other surround modes without paying too much attentio\ n to their names and choose the one you feel is best. NOTE 1: When playing sources recorded in monaural, the sound is one-sided if onl\ y one channel (left or right) is input, so input signals to both channels. Personal Memory Plus This set is equipped with a personal memorize function that automaticall\ y memorizes the surround modes and input modes selected for the input different sources. When the input source is switched, the modes se\ t for that source last time it was used are automatical ly recalled. • Settings automatically stored in the memory for the individual input fun\ ctions using the Personal Memory Plus function: q Surround mode (including 2-channel decode mode and Dolby Pro Logic IImode settings) w Input mode selection function The surround parameters, TONE/SDB control settings and playback level ba\ lance for the different output channels are memorized for each surround mode. “Dolby”, “Pro Logic” and the double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories. “DTS” and “DTS Virtual” are trademarks of Digital Theater Systems, Inc.
