Tips
I want the volume not to become too loud by mistake.
• Set the volume upper limit for “Volume Limit” in the menu beforehand. This prevents children or others from increasing the volume too much by
mistake (vpage 128).

I want to keep the volume at the same level when I turn the power on.
• By default, the volume setting when power was previously set to standby is applied at next power on. To use a fixed volume level, set the volume level
at power on for “Volume Limit” in the menu (vpage 128).

I want to have the subwoofer always output audio.

• Depending on the input signals and sound mode, the subwoofer may not output audio.
When “Subwoofer Mode” in the menu is set to “LFE+Main”, you can have the subwoofer always output audio (vpage 152).

I want to make human voices in the movies clearer.

• Use “Dialog Level” in the menu to adjust the level (vpage 124).

I want to keep bass and clarity during playback at a lower volume level.
• Set “Dynamic EQ” in the menu to “On”. This setting corrects the frequency characteristics to allow you to enjoy clear sound without the bass being
lost even during playback at a lower volume level (vpage 130).

I want to automatically adjust the volume level difference in content such as TV and movies.
