Adjusting Sound
You can adjust the level of individual speakers during
playback.
• These adjustments are temporary and will be can-
celled when the DVD receiver is set to Standby.
• You cannot use this function while the DVD receiver
is muted.
This is available when the listening mode is set to other
than “Direct”.
Press S.BASS repeatedly.
Pressing S.BASS repeatedly will change the option in
the following order.
Note:
You may not optimize the effect when you use a
subwoofer in combination.
In such cases, you can stress the deep bass by adjusting
the volume level of the subwoofer. (See page 53.)
With the Late Night function, you can reduce the
dynamic range of Dolby Digital material so that you can
still hear quiet parts even when listening at low volume
levels—ideal for watching movies late at night when you
don’t want to disturb anyone.
Notes:
• The effect of the Late Night function depends on the
Dolby Digital material that you are playing, and with
some material there will be little or no effect.
• The Late Night function is set to Off when the DVD
receiver is set to Standby.
