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 61 ). It is automatically set to FULLBND when Full Band Phase Control measurement is performed (page 61 ). 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 c OFF/FLAT d background sounds in a TV or movie soundtrack. Default: OFF Creates a wider dynamic range with digital sources like CDs, DVDs or ON BDs. 16- and 20-bit PCM as well as compressed audio is requantized to 24 bits, more subtle musical expression. This mode is effective for contents with a sampling frequency of 48 OFF kHz or less. CH1 - Channel 1 is heard only 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. CH2 - Channel 2 is heard only CH1 CH2 - Both channels heard from front speakers AUTO Use to switch the input signal type (analog/digital/HDMI) (page 60 ). ANALOG DIGITAL HDMI This is useful if you find there is a slight delay before OFF recognizes OFF the PCM signal on a CD, for instance. When ON is selected, noise may be output during playback of non- ON PCM sources. Please select another input signal if this is a problem. Adjusts the level of dynamic range for movie soundtracks optimized for Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD and DTS-HD Master Audio (you may need to use this feature when listening to surround sound at low volumes). AUTO MAX MID OFF This is a setting of the post process function of the Dolby TrueHD ON decoder. By setting to OFF, you can enjoy higher sound quality. This can only be set when DRC is set to OFF and the input signal is a OFF Dolby TrueHD signal. 73
