! DIRECT – Plays back sound from the
source with the least modification next
to PURE DIRECT. With DIRECT, the only
modifications added to PURE DIRECT
playback are calibration of the sound field by
the MCACC system and the Phase Control
effect.
! PURE DIRECT – Plays back unmodified
sound from source with only minimal digital
treatment. No sound is output from the
Speaker B in this mode.
! OPTIMUM SURR – Listening in Optimum
Surround mode (page 37).
Note
! When listening through headphones, you can
select ALC, OPTIMUM SURR or PURE DIRECT
mode only.
Selecting MCACC presets
! Default setting: MEMORY 1
If you have calibrated your system for different
listening positions, you can switch between set-
tings to suit the kind of source you're listening
to and where you're sitting (for example, watch-
ing movies from a sofa, or playing a video game
close to the TV).
1 Press
to the receiver operation
mode.
2 While listening to a source, press
MCACC.
Press repeatedly to select one of the six MCACC
presets. See Data Management on page 67 to
check and manage your current settings.
! These settings have no effect when
headphones are connected.
! You can also press k/l to select the
MCACC preset.
Choosing the input signal
On this receiver, it is possible to switch
the input signals for the different inputs as
described below.
! This receiver can only play back Dolby Digital,
PCM (32 kHz to 192 kHz) and DTS (including
DTS 96/24) digital signal formats. The
compatible signals via the HDMI terminals
are: Dolby Digital, DTS, PCM (32 kHz to 192
kHz), Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS-
EXPRESS, DTS-HD Master Audio and SACD.
! You may get digital noise when an LD, CD,
DVD or BD player compatible with DTS is
playing an analog signal. To prevent noise,
make the proper digital connections (page 16)
and set the signal input to DIGITAL.
! Some DVD players don't output DTS signals.
For more details, refer to the instruction
manual supplied with your DVD player.
1 Press
to the receiver operation
mode.
2 Press SIGNAL SEL to select the input
signal corresponding to the source
component.
Each press cycles through the options as
follows:
! AUTO – The receiver selects the first
available signal in the following order: HDMI;
DIGITAL; ANALOG.
! ANALOG – Selects an analog signal.
! DIGITAL – Selects an optical or coaxial
digital signal.
! HDMI – Selects an HDMI signal.
— When the HDMI audio output parameter
is set to THROUGH, the sound will be
heard through your TV, not from this
receiver.
When set to DIGITAL, HDMI or AUTO (only
selected DIGITAL or HDMI), the indicators light
according to the signal being decoded (see
Display on page 9 ).
Better sound using Phase
Control
This receiver's 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. The
default setting is on and we recommend leav-
ing Phase Control switched on for all sound
sources.
1 Press
to the receiver operation
mode.
2 Press PHASE CTRL (PHASE CONTROL) to
switch on phase correction.
The PHASE CONTROL indicator on the front
panel lights.
Note
! Phase matching is a very important factor
in achieving proper sound reproduction.
If two waveforms are 'in phase', they crest
and trough together, resulting in increased
amplitude, clarity and presence of the sound
signal. If a crest of a wave meets a trough,
then the sound will be 'out of phase' and an
unreliable sound image will be produced.
! For discs created with standards other than
Phase Control, the LFE channel is delayed
upon recording in the first place. Phase
Control Plus function corrects for phase
shifting on such discs. For instructions on
setting the Phase Control Plus, see Setting the
Audio options on page 50 .
! The PHASE CONTROL feature is available
even when the headphones are plugged in.
! If your subwoofer has a phase control switch,
set it to the plus (+) sign (or 0º). However,
the effect you can actually feel when
Listening to your system
PHASE CONTROL is set to ON on this receiver
depends on the type of your subwoofer. Set
your subwoofer to maximize the effect. It is
also recommended you try changing the
orientation or the place of your subwoofer.
! Set the built-in lowpass filter switch of your
subwoofer to off. If this cannot be done on
your subwoofer, set the cutoff frequency to a
higher value.
! If the speaker distance is not properly set, you
may not have a maximized PHASE CONTROL
effect.
! The PHASE CONTROL mode cannot be set to
ON in the following cases:
— When the PURE DIRECT mode is switched
on.
— When the HDMI audio output parameter is
set to THROUGH in Setting the Setting the
Audio options on page 50 .
Better sound using Phase
Control and Full Band Phase
Control
VSX-1326 only
This receiver is equipped with the two types
of functions that correct phase distortion and
group delay: Phase Control and Full Band
Phase Control. Activating Full Band Phase
Control is strongly recommended because it
also involves the effects of Phase Control.
The Full Band Phase Control feature calibrates
the frequency-phase characteristics of the
speakers connected.
Standard speakers designed exclusively for
audio use generally reproduce sound with the
divided frequency bands output from a speaker
system consisting of multiple speakers (in
case of typical 3-way speakers, for instance,
the tweeter, the squawker (midrange), and the
woofer output sound in the high-, middle-, and
low-frequency ranges, respectively). Though
these speakers are designed to flatten the
