Setting/What it does
g
C.WIDTH (Center Width)
(Applicable only when using a center speaker)
Spreads the center channel between the front
right and left speakers, making it sound wider
(higher settings) or narrower (lower settings).
g
DIMEN (Dimension)
Adjusts the surround sound balance from
front to back, making the sound more distant
(minus settings), or more forward (positive
settings).
g
PNRM. (Panorama)
Extends the front stereo image to include
surround speakers for a 'wraparound' effect.
C.IMG (Center Image) h
(Applicable only when using a center speaker)
Adjust the center image to create a wider
stereo effect with vocals. Adjust the effect
from 0 (all center channel sent to front right
and left speakers) to 10 (center channel sent
to the center speaker only).
The default setting when the iPod/USB, ADAPTER,
a.
NETRADIO, M.SERVER or FAVORITE input is selected is ON.
This setting works only with dual mono encoded Dolby Digital
b.
and DTS soundtracks.
The initial set AUTO is only available for Dolby TrueHD signals.
c.
Select MAX or MID for signals other than Dolby TrueHD.
You shouldn't have any problems using this with most SACD
d.
discs, but if the sound distorts, it is best to switch the gain
setting back to 0 dB.
This feature is only available when the connected display
e.
supports the automatic audio/video synchronizing capability
('lip-sync') for HDMI. If you find the automatically set delay time
unsuitable, set A.DLY to OFF and adjust the delay time
manually. For more details about the lip-sync feature of your
display, contact the manufacturer directly.
Phase matching is a very important factor in achieving proper
f.
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.
If your subwoofer has a phase control switch, set it to the plus
Option(s)
(+) sign (or 0°). However, the effect you can actually feel when
Phase Control is set to ON on this receiver depends on the type
0 to 7
of your subwoofer. Set your subwoofer to maximize the effect.
Default: 3
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
–3 to +3
frequency to a higher value.
Default: 0
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.
OFF
– When the headphones are connected.
