What it does

With the Auto Sound Retriever function, DSP processing
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 opti-
mized based on the bitrate information of the contents
input to the USB memory audio and HOME MEDIA GAL-
LERY (digital audio input only) to achieve high sound
quality.
Also, when a player supporting the Auto Sound Retriever
Link function is connected to the receiver by HDMI, by set-
ting this to ON, the bitrate information of the compressed
audio file being played on the player is acquired using the
Control with HDMI function, and the sound is optimized
based on this information (Auto Sound Retriever Link).
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.
Creates a wider dynamic range with digital sources like
CDs, DVDs or BDs. Smoother, more delicate musical
expression can be achieved by requantizing 16 bit PCM or
20 bit compressed audio signals or 24 bit compressed/loss-
less audio signals to 32 bit.
Switches the AUDIO DAC (Digital Audio Converter) digital
filter type. One of three settings can be selected: SLOW
(soft and warm), SHARP (solid and tight) and SHORT (quick
and forward).
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.
