Listening through headphones
When you connect a pair of headphones for private
listening the front panel display shows

and
sound from the speakers is muted.
Sound through the headphones is always stereo;
multichannel sources are mixed down as necessary.
When headphones are connected, the
AUTO
,
SURROUND
,
STEREO
and
SOUND
buttons are all
inoperative.
Dynamic Range Control setting
• Default setting:
DRC: OFF
Using this setting, you can compress the dynamic range
of Dolby Digital or DTS sources so that low level sounds
can be heard more easily (sounding relatively louder) yet
louder sounds won’t be too overbearing.
1 Press SYSTEM SETUP repeatedly until the DRC
setting is shown in the display.
The display shows
DRC ON
or
DRC OFF
.
2 Use the
/
(cursor left/right) buttons to
change the setting.
Switching on Dynamic Range Control is best used when
listening at low volumes so that you can still hear dialog.
• You can also use the
<
and
>
buttons on the front
panel.
3 Press ENTER to exit System Setup.
