LFE ATT (LFE Attenuate) Some Dolby Digital and DTS audio sources include ultra-low bass tones. Set the LFE attenuator as necessary to prevent the ultralow bass tones from distorting the sound from the speakers. The LFE is not limited when set to 0 dB, which is the recommended value. When set to -15 dB, the LFE is limited by the respective degree. When OFF is selected, no sound is output from the LFE channel. SACD G. (SACD Gain)f Brings out detail in SACDs by maximizing the dynamic range (during digital processing). HDMI (HDMI Audio) Specifies the routing of the HDMI audio signal out of this receiver (AMP) or through to a TV (THRU). When THRU is selected, no sound is output from this receiver. The HDMI Audio setting cannot be switched while performing synchronized amp mode operations (page 55). A.DLY (Auto Delay)g This feature automatically corrects the audioto-video delay between components connected with an HDMI cable.
