The MUTE message will appear in the display as a reminder To restore the sound press the Mute button again or adjust the volume Dolby Volume Your AVR implements Dolby Volume processing which can improve the audio performance of the system by revealing subtle details in the sound even at normal home listening volumes One concern of the typical home theater listener is that volumes can vary widely for different programs played by a source e g television commercial advertisements are often much louder than the main program Another is that details heard in the recording studio at typically high reference volumes are lost at the lower volumes used by many listeners at home The AVR uses two Dolby Volume techniques to address these issues The Leveler module maintains a consistent listening volume within a source e g commercial television or different tracks on a USB drive or mix CD The Modeler module endeavors to re create the reference presentation that was heard in the recording studio without losing portions of the program at the typically lower volume levels often used in the home When the Modeler module is active you may notice details of the performance that were hidden when the program was played on other equipment To adjust the Dolby Volume setting press the Audio Effects button The Audio Effects submenu will appear ects Cable Sat Edit Dolby PLIIx Music Tone Control Treble Bass LFE Trim EZSET EQ

58. While setting your system s individual speaker volume levels is ultimately up to your personal taste here are some ideas you may find helpful For films and video music programs your overall goal should be to create an enveloping realistic sound field that draws you into the film or music program without drawing your attention away from the action on the screen For multichannel music recordings some music producers will create a sound field that places the musicians all around you others will create a sound field that places the musicians in front of you with more subtle ambience in the surround speakers as you would experience in a concert hall n most 5 1 channel and 7 1 channel film soundtracks the surround speakers are not intended to be as loud or as active as the front speakers Adjusting the surround speakers so they are always as loud as the front speakers could make dialogue difficult to understand and will make some sound effects sound unrealistically loud Notes on Setting Subwoofer Volume Sometimes the ideal subwoofer volume setting for music is too loud for films while the ideal setting for films is too quiet for music When setting the subwoofer volume listen to both music and films with strong bass content and find a middle ground volume level that works for both e If your subwoofer always seems too loud or too quiet you may want to place it in a different location Placing the subwoofer in a corner wil
