Preparations SURROUND speakers distance setting mode
Use to set the SURROUND speakers distance. Like the CENTER speaker position, the SURROUND speakers may be set in a location closer or farther than the FRONT speakers. Set the distance of the SURROUND speakers accurately to hear sounds coming from both FRONT and SURROUND speakers at the same time.

Dual mono setting mode
The dual mono setting can only be used when listening to Dolby Digital discs that have dual mono software encoded in them. As of now these are not that widely used. With this setting you can choose which channel in the dual mono setting you want to listen to. Thus, it is useful for soundtracks that have one language on one channel and a different language on the other. Remember you can only use this setting if you have Dolby Digital software with this feature and want to isolate one of the channels therein. There are two different ways to route the sound in the dual mono setting, one is with Dolby Digital mode on, the other with Dolby Digital mode off. If Dolby Digital mode is switched on, the ch1 setting will play channel 1 through your center speaker, the ch2 setting will play channel 2 through your center speaker. With Dolby Digital mode off, the dual mono sound routing is as follows: In the ch1 setting your will hear channel 1 out of both front speakers. In the ch2 setting you will hear channel 2 out of both speakers. In the L. c1 R. c2 setting the speakers will play the soundtrack independently of each other. The left front speaker will play channel 1 and the right front speaker will play channel 2.

Press % or � to set the distance of the SURROUND speakers from the main listening position (within a 9.0 m range).
MEMO: � The initial setting is 3.0 m. � When �S*� is selected in SPEAKERS setting mode, the SURROUND distance cannot be set. � One step equals about 0.3 m.

Dynamic range control setting mode
Dynamic range is the difference between the loudest and softest sounds in any given signal. The dynamic range control helps you play back sounds so the quieter sounds are audible yet the louder sounds don�t get distorted. It does this by compressing the dynamic range, in other words pushing all the sounds towards the same relative volume level. When watching a movie at low volume, setting this function enables low level sounds to be heard more easily but you won�t be jolted by louder sounds.

MEMO: � The initial setting is �OFF�. � When the volume level is increased, set to �OFF�. � For listening enjoyment at low volumes, set to �MAX� for maximum dynamic range compression. � Dynamic range control is effective only when a Dolby Digital signal is being played back.

MEMO: � The default setting of this feature is ch 1.

Coaxial digital input setting
Here you tell the receiver what component you have hooked up to the coaxial digital input jack.

Press % or � to select the coaxial digital input (DVD, TV, CD, CD-R, VCR or OFF).
After you assign a component to the digital jack, whenever you select that component, for example a DVD player, the receiver will automatically change to the digital input setting. You can see this in the ANALOG DIGITAL indicator on the front of the receiver. MEMO: � The initial setting is �DVD�.
