When audio data is removed during
the WMA/MP3/MPEG-4 AAC
compression process, sound quality
often suffers from an uneven sound
image. The Sound Retriever feature
employs new DSP technology that
helps bring CD quality sound back
to compressed 2-channel audio by
restoring sound pressure and
smoothing jagged artifacts left over
after compression.
May improve the quality of sound in
a noisy source (for example,
cassette or video tape with lots of
background noise) when switched
on.
Localizes dialog in the center
channel to make it stand out from
other background sounds in a TV or
movie soundtrack.
Creates a wider dynamic range with
digital sources like CDs or DVDs.
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.
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).
