Listening to your system

Using the Advanced surround

The Advanced surround feature creates a variety of surround

effects. Try different modes with various soundtracks to see

which you like.

Note

•

During ECO mode, the brightness switches between 2

levels. If the dimmest level is selected, DIMMER will be

shown on the display. (Mode other than ECO: 4 levels, ECO

mode: 2 levels)

•

ECO MODE will switch OFF automatically when switched

to other listening modes (Advanced surround mode and

Auto surround mode).

Using Stream Direct

Use the Stream Direct modes when you want to hear the

truest possible reproduction of a source. All unnecessary

signal processing is bypassed.

Using the Sound Retriever

When audio data is removed during the compression

process, sound quality often suffers from an uneven sound

image. The Sound Retriever feature employs new DSP

technology that helps bring CD quality sound back to

compressed 2-channel audio by restoring sound pressure

and smoothing jagged artifacts left over after compression.
