S.DELAY (Sound Delay)

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.

0 to 500 ms (1

step : 5 ms)

Default: 0

MIDNIGHT/LOUDNESS

The MIDNIGHT allows you to hear effective

surround sound of movies at low volumes.

The LOUDNESS is used to get good bass and

treble from music sources at low volumes.

F.PCM (Fixed PCM)

This is useful if you find there is a slight delay

before OFF recognizes the PCM signal on a

CD, for instance.

When ON is selected, noise may be output

during playback of non-PCM sources. Please

select another input signal if this is a problem.

OFF

DRC (Dynamic Range Control)

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).

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 ultra-

low 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.

dynamic range (during digital processing).

0 (0 dB)

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 56).

A.DLY (Auto Delay)

This feature automatically corrects the audio-

to-video delay between components

connected with an HDMI cable. The audio

delay time is set depending on the operational

status of the display connected with an HDMI

cable. The video delay time is automatically

adjusted according to the audio delay time.

OFF

PHASE CTRL (Phase Control)

Phase Control feature uses phase correction

measures to make sure your sound source

arrives at the listening position in phase,

preventing unwanted distortion and/or

coloring of the sound.

Phase Control technology provides coherent

sound reproduction through the use of phase

matching for an optimal sound image at your

listening position. The default setting is on

and we recommend leaving Phase Control

switched on for all sound sources.
