Page 93 highlights

Audio Scaler: By selecting "Auto", "Hi-bit 32", "Upsampling", and "Digital Filter" are each automatically set to the optimum values so that you get the high-quality playback of music files and CDs. The setting can be separately set to each input selector. Select "Manual" if you want to manually adjust "Hi-bit 32", "Upsampling", and "Digital Filter". Hi-bit 32: By expanding the dynamic range of digital audio signal sources such as CDs, DVDs, and BDs, it is possible to achieve a smoother and more refined sound. The setting can be separately set to each input selector. This can be set when the sampling frequency is 44.1 kHz or more. • This cannot be set if "Auto" is selected for "Audio Scalar". Upsampling: By increasing the sampling frequency of PCM 2 channel audio by a factor of 2 or 4, you can achieve high-quality sound reproduction. The setting can be separately set to each input selector. This can be set when the sampling frequency is between 44.1 kHz and 96 kHz. This function works in the Direct, Pure Direct, and Stereo listening modes. • This cannot be set if "Auto" is selected for "Audio Scalar". Digital Filter: You can switch the type of digital filter in the AUDIO DAC (digital analog converter). You can choose "Slow" (gives the sound a soft and fluid feel), "Sharp" (gives the sound more structure and firmer feel), or "Short" (gives the sound a feeling of a quick start and moving forward). The setting can be separately set to each input selector. This can be set when the sampling frequency is 44.1 kHz or more. • This cannot be set if "Auto" is selected for "Audio Scalar". Reflex Optimizer: Enhance the reflection effect of Dolby enabled speakers from the ceiling. This setting can be selected when "System Setup" - "Speaker" - "Configuration" - "Height 1 Speaker"/"Height 2 Speaker" is set to "Dolby Speaker". • It cannot be set if the listening mode is Pure Direct. Playback „ Room EQ Dirac Live (*1): You can select the slots with registered filters measured with Dirac Live ( →p178, p182) from "Slot1" to "Slot3". • The Dirac Live measurement results are saved in "Slot1" to "Slot3", but you are able to register your own original filter with "Manual Adjust" ( →p184). • This cannot be selected when measurements are made using "Full Auto MCACC". MCACC EQ (*1)(*3): Enable or disable the equalizer function that corrects for distortion caused by the acoustic environment of the room. Phase Control (*1): Correct phase disturbance in the low range to enhance the bass. This enables you to achieve powerful bass reproduction that is faithful to the original sound. MCACC Memory: From MCACC Memory 1 to 3 where speaker settings calibrated with "Full Auto MCACC" or "Manual MCACC" are saved, select which Memory to use. Theater Filter (*2)(*3): Adjust the soundtrack that was processed to enhance its high pitch range, in order to make it suitable for home theater. Standing Wave (*1)(*3): Setting this "On" will control the effect of the standing wave generated by the sound wave reflected by wall or similar interfering with the original sound wave. (*1) It cannot be set if the listening mode is Pure Direct. (*2) It cannot be set if the listening mode is Direct or Pure Direct. (*3) This function cannot be used if Dirac Live ( →p178, p182) is being used. Furthermore, there is no effect even if it can be selected. 93
