09 Using other functions Setting the Audio options There are a number of additional sound settings you can make using the AUDIO PARAMETER menu. The defaults, if not stated, are listed in bold. Important ! Note that if a setting doesn't appear in the AUDIO PARAMETER menu, it is unavailable due to the current source, settings and status of the receiver. 1 Press MAIN RECEIVER to switch the remote control to the receiver operation mode, and then press AUDIO P.. 2 Use i/j to select the setting you want to adjust. Depending on the current status/mode of the receiver, certain options may not be able to be selected. Check the table below for notes on this. 3 Use k/l to set as necessary. See the table below for the options available for each setting. 4 Press RETURN to confirm and exit the menu. Audio parameter menu Setting What it does MCACC (MCACC preset) Selects your favorite MCACC preset memory when multiple preset memories are saved. When an MCACC preset memory has been renamed, the given name is displayed. EQ (Acoustic Calibration EQ) S-WAVE (Standing Wave) PHASE (Phase Control) PHASE C+ (Phase Control Plus) DELAY (Sound Delay) TONE (Tone Control) BASS Switches on/off the effects of EQ Pro. Switches on/off the effects of Standing Wave Control. Switches on/off the effects of Phase Control (page 66) . It is automatically set to FULLBND when Full Band Phase Control measurement is performed (page 67 ). You cannot select FULLBND before the measurement. For discs created with standards other than Phase Control, the LFE channel is delayed upon recording in the first place. This function corrects for phase shifting on such discs. This function is particularly effective when playing multi-channel music containing low frequency effects (LFE). When AUTO is selected, not only the low range delay but also the polarity and correlation are detected to achieve the optimum effect. Some monitors have a slight delay when showing video, so the soundtrack will be slightly out of sync with the picture. By adding a bit of delay, you can adjust the sound to match the presentation of the video. Applies the treble and bass tone controls to a source, or bypasses them completely. Adjusts the amount of bass. Option(s) c M1. MEMORY 1 to M6. MEMORY 6 d Default: M1.

Also, when a player supporting the Sound Retriever Link function is connected to the receiver by HDMI, by setting this to ON, the bitrate ON information of the compressed audio file being played on the player is acquired using the Control with HDMI function, and the sound is optimized based on this information (Sound Retriever Link). May improve the quality of sound in a noisy source (for example, video OFF tape with lots of background noise) when switched on. This only has an effect with 2-channel signal inputs. This mode is effective for contents with a sampling frequency of 48 ON kHz or less. Localizes dialog in the center channel to make it stand out from other background sounds in a TV or movie soundtrack. By moving from UP1 through UP2 and UP3 up to UP4, you can make the sound source seem to relocate upwards. c OFF/FLAT/UP1/UP2/ UP3/UP4 d Default: OFF When AUTO is selected, Hi-bit32, UpSampling and DFILTER are automatically set to the optimum settings according to the 2-channel audio source's sampling frequency and bit rate to achieve high quality playback sound. MANUAL AUTO Creates a wider dynamic range with digital sources like CDs, DVDs or ON BDs. 16-, 20- and 24-bit PCM as well as compressed audio is requan- tized to 32 bits, and the high frequency component is interpolated upon data processing to enable smoother, more subtle musical OFF expression. The 2-channel audio source's sampling frequency is increased to the set multiple to achieve high quality playback sound. x1 (Off) x2 x4 Switches the AUDIO DAC (Digital Audio Converter) digital filter type. One of two settings can be selected: SLOW (soft and warm), SHARP (solid and tight). SLOW SHARP Switches the PQLS function between AUTO and OFF (Setting the PQLS function on page 77) . AUTO OFF Specifies how dual mono encoded Dolby Digital soundtracks should be played. Dual mono is not widely used, but is sometimes necessary when two languages need to be sent to separate channels. Use to switch the input signal type (analog/digital/HDMI) (page 66) . CH1 - Channel 1 is heard only CH2 - Channel 2 is heard only CH1 CH2 - Both channels heard from front speakers AUTO ANALOG DIGITAL HDMI 80
