Late Night Function
■ Late Night
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.
For Dolby Digital sources, the options are:
Off: Late Night function off (default).
Low: Small reduction in dynamic range.
High: Large reduction in dynamic range.
Notes:
• The Late Night function can be used only when the
input source is Dolby Digital.
• The effect of the Late Night function depends on the
material that you are playing and the intention of the
original sound designer, and with some material there
will be little or no effect when you select the different
options.
• The Late Night function is set to Off when the AV
receiver is set to Standby.
CinemaFILTER
■ Cinema Fltr
With the CinemaFILTER, you can soften overly bright
movie soundtracks, which are typically mixed for repro-
duction in a movie theater.
CinemaFILTER can be used with the following listening
modes: Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Pro
Logic IIx Movie, Dolby Pro Logic II Movie, DTS, DTS-
ES, DTS Neo:6 Cinema, DTS 96/24, and Neo:6.
Off: CinemaFILTER off.
On: CinemaFILTER on.
Note:
• The CinemaFILTER may not work when used with
certain input sources.
Audyssey Dynamic EQ
■ DynamicEQ
With Audyssey Dynamic EQ, you can enjoy great sound
even when listening at low volume levels.
Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorat-
ing sound quality as volume is decreased by taking into
account human perception and room acoustics. It does so
by selecting the correct frequency response and surround
volume levels moment-by-moment so that the content
sounds the way it was created at any volume level--not
just at reference level.
Off: Audyssey Dynamic EQ off.
On: Audyssey Dynamic EQ on.
Note:
• Audyssey Dynamic EQ can be set only when the
Equalizer Settings on page 81 are set to Audyssey.
Music Optimizer
■ M.Optimizer
The Music Optimizer function enhances the sound qual-
ity of compressed music files. Use it with music files that
use “lossy” compression, such as MP3.
Off: Music Optimizer off (default).
On: Music Optimizer on.
Note:
• The Music Optimizer function only works with PCM
digital audio input signals with a sampling rate below
48kHz and analog audio input signals. The Music
Optimizer is disabled when the Direct listening mode
is selected.
Speaker Levels
You can adjust the volume of each speaker while listen-
ing to an input source.
These temporary adjustments are cancelled when the AV
receiver is set to Standby.
■ Subwoofer
You can adjust the level from –15 dB to +12 dB.
■ Center
You can adjust the level from –12 dB to +12 dB.
Notes:
•You cannot use this function while the AV receiver is
muted.
• Speakers that are set to No or None in the Speaker
Configuration cannot be adjusted (see page 77).
A/V Sync
■ A/V Sync
When using progressive scanning on your DVD player,
you may find that the picture and sound are out of sync.
With this setting, you can correct this by delaying the
audio signals. You can set it from 0 to 100 milliseconds
(ms) in 20 millisecond steps.
Note:
• This setting is not available when the Direct listening
mode is used with an analog input signal.
