What it does
Applies the treble and bass tone controls to a source,
or bypasses them completely.
This setting is only displayed when the listening mode
is STEREO, Auto surround (STEREO) or SOUND
RETRIEVER AIR.
Adjusts the amount of bass.
Adjusts the amount of treble.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
