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 to the receiver operation mode, then press AUDIO PARAMETER.

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.

the first place. This function corrects for phase shift-

ing on such discs.

c 0 to 16 (ms) d

Default: 6ms

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.

c 0.0 to 10.0 (frames) d

1 second = 25 frames (PAL)

Default: 0.0

Setting What it does Option(s)

TONE

(Tone Control)

or bypasses them completely.

This setting is only displayed when the listening mode

is STEREO, Auto surround (STEREO) or SOUND

RETRIEVER AIR.

S.RTRV

(Auto Sound Retriever)

<b>

With the Auto Sound Retriever function, DSP process-

ing is used to compensate for the loss of audio data

upon compression, improving the sound’s sense of

density and modulation.

When ON is selected, the Sound Retriever effect is

optimized based on the bitrate information of the

contents input to the USB memory audio and HOME

MEDIA GALLERY (digital audio input only) to achieve

high sound quality.

OFF

DNR

(Digital Noise Reduc-

tion)

May improve the quality of sound in a noisy source (for

example, video tape with lots of background noise)

when switched on.

This only has an effect with 2-channel signal inputs.

OFF

DIALOG E

(Dialog Enhancement)

<c>

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

DUAL

(Dual Mono)

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.

CH1 – Channel 1 is heard only

CH2 – Channel 2 is heard only

CH1 CH2 – Both channels

heard from front speakers

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)

<d>

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).
