Theater Compensation
Theater Compensation provides special equalization within any of the
selected DSP modes. Most theatrical soundtracks are mixed on large dub-
bing stages for playback in large movie theaters. When these soundtracks
are played back in your home, they may appear to have too much treble,
particularly in the dialogue, making them sound harsh and “bright.” Theater
Compensation modies the audio signal to reduce these characteristics and
make the soundtrack reproduction more natural sounding.
Theater Compensation can be accessed from the Main Menu or the T.COMP
button on the remote.
To turn on Theater Compensation from the Main Menu:
1.
Press the MENU button to enter the Main Menu.
The Main Menu appears on the Front Panel Display and the OSD. The
cursor on the OSD should be pointing to the Input Conguration menu

INPUT CONFIG

Use the < and > buttons to choose between On and Off.
6.
After making your selection, press the MENU button twice

approximately 5 seconds after your last key press.
Dolby Pro Logic II Cinema and DTS-ES NEO:6 Cinema (but not the Music
modes of each) include a form of equalization of their own to address the
same conditions. When using these modes the addition of Theater Compen-
sation may cause excessive reduction of the upper frequencies. However, you
may wish to experiment with different soundtracks to nd what sounds best
to you. Theater Compensation is not recommended for Music modes.
