With positive equalizer settings, internal overflow may

occur even with overall volume less than 0 dB. This will

lead to a clipped output signal. Therefore, it is not recom-

mended to set equalizer bands to a value that, in con-

junction with volume, would result in an overall positive

gain.

Equalizer must not be used simultaneously with Bass

and Treble (Mode Tone Control must be set to FF to use

the Equalizer).

Different sound sources (e.g. Terrestrial channels, SAT

channels or SCART) fairly often don’t have the same

volume level. Advertisement during movies as well has

mostly a different (higher) volume level, than the movie

itself. The Automatic Volume Correction (AVC) solves

this problem and equalizes the volume levels.

The absolute value of the incoming signal is fed into a

filter with 16ms attack time and selectable decay time.

The decay time must be adjusted as shown in the table

above. This attack/decay filter block works similar to a

peak hold function. The volume correction value with it’s

quasi continuous step width is calculated using the at-

tack/decay filter output.

The Automatic Volume Correction works with an internal

reference level of –18 dBFS. This means, input signals

with a volume level of –18 dBFS will not be affected by

the AVC. If the input signals vary in a range of –24 dB to

0 dB the AVC compensates this.

Example: A static input signal of 1 kHz on Scart has an

output level as shown in the table below.

Loudspeaker Volume = 73h = 0 dBFS

Scart Prescale = 20h i.e. 2.0 Vrms = 0dBFS

To reset the internal variables, the AVC should be

switched off and on during any channel or source

change. For standard applications, the recommended

decay time is 4sec.

Note: AVC should not be used in any Dolby Prologic

modes, except PANORAMA, where no other than the

loudspeaker output is active.
