When a test tone is not output
from the speakers
• The speaker cords may not be connected
securely. Check to see if they are connected
securely and cannot be disconnected by
pulling on them slightly.
• The speaker cords may have short-circuit
problem.
• Make sure that you are not using PARTY
STREAMING function (page 77).

speaker displayed on the TV

x D.Range Comp (Dynamic range
compression)
Lets you compress the dynamic range of the
soundtrack. 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.
• MAX: The dynamic range is compressed
dramatically.
• STD: The dynamic range is compressed as
intended by the recording engineer.
• AUTO: The dynamic range is compressed
automatically.
• OFF: The dynamic range is not compressed.
Tips
• Dynamic range compressor lets you compress the
dynamic range of the soundtrack based on the
dynamic range information included in the Dolby
Digital signal.
• "STD" is the standard setting, and enacts light
compression. Therefore, we recommend using the
"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.

Surround Settings menu

screen.
For details on the sound field, see "Enjoying
Surround Sound" (page 64).

To adjust the effect level for
HD-D.C.S.
1
Select "HD-D.C.S.", then press
b.
2
Select the effect type you want, then
press
.
HD-D.C.S. has three different types:
Theater, Dynamic and Studio. Each type
has different reflection and reverberation
sound mixture levels and is optimized to
match a listener's room uniqueness, taste
and mood.
• Dynamic: Want to enjoy the sound
effects to the full extent, just like at the
movie theaters?
Dynamic type emphasizes on the
reflection sound. Without HD-D.C.S.,
many rooms are often somewhat
reverberant but lack a spacious feeling.
This type acoustically opens up those
types of rooms and provides a spacious
and dynamism feeling equivalent to a
mastering studio.
