Setting the Audio options
There are a number of additional sound settings you can make using the AUDIO PARAMETER menu. The
defaults, if not stated, are listed in bold.
Important
! Note that if a setting doesn't appear in the AUDIO PARAMETER menu, it is unavailable due to the current
source, settings and status of the receiver.
1
Press MAIN RECEIVER to switch the remote control to the receiver operation mode, and
then press AUDIO P..
Use i/j to select the setting you want to adjust.
2
Depending on the current status/mode of the receiver, certain options may not be able to be selected. Check the
table below for notes on this.
3
Use k/l to set as necessary.
See the table below for the options available for each setting.
4
Press RETURN to confirm and exit the menu.

What it does
Selects your favorite MCACC preset memory when multiple preset
MCACC
memories are saved. When an MCACC preset memory has been
(MCACC preset)
renamed, the given name is displayed.
EQ
Switches on/off the effects of EQ Pro.
(Acoustic Calibration EQ)
S-WAVE
Switches on/off the effects of Standing Wave Control.
(Standing Wave)
Switches on/off the effects of Phase Control
PHASE
It is automatically set to FULLBND when Full Band Phase Control
(Phase Control)
measurement is performed
before the measurement.
For discs created with standards other than Phase Control, the LFE
channel is delayed upon recording in the first place. This function
corrects for phase shifting on such discs.
PHASE C+
This function is particularly effective when playing multi-channel
(Phase Control Plus)
music containing low frequency effects (LFE).
When AUTO is selected, not only the low range delay but also the
polarity and correlation are detected to achieve the optimum effect.
Some monitors have a slight delay when showing video, so the
DELAY
soundtrack will be slightly out of sync with the picture. By adding a
(Sound Delay)
bit of delay, you can adjust the sound to match the presentation of
the video.
TONE
Applies the treble and bass tone controls to a source, or bypasses
(Tone Control)
them completely.
BASS
Adjusts the amount of bass.

What it does
TREBLE
Adjusts the amount of treble.
<a>
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.
S.RTRV
Also, when a player supporting the Sound Retriever Link function is
(Auto Sound Retriever)
connected to the receiver by HDMI, by setting this to ON, the bitrate
<b>
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 (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.
DNR
This only has an effect with 2-channel signal inputs.
(Digital Noise Reduction)
This mode is effective for contents with a sampling frequency of 48
kHz or less.
Localizes dialog in the center channel to make it stand out from other
DIALOG E
background sounds in a TV or movie soundtrack. By moving from UP1
(Dialog Enhancement)
through UP2 and UP3 up to UP4, you can make the sound source
<c>
seem to relocate upwards.
When AUTO is selected, Hi-bit32, UpSampling and DFILTER are
automatically set to the optimum settings according to the 2-chan-
AScale
(Audio Scaler)
nel audio source's sampling frequency and bit rate to achieve high
quality playback sound.
Creates a wider dynamic range with digital sources like CDs, DVDs or
BDs. 16-, 20- and 24-bit PCM as well as compressed audio is requan-
tized to 32 bits, and the high frequency component is interpolated
Hi-bit32
upon data processing to enable smoother, more subtle musical
<d>
expression.
This mode is effective for contents with a sampling frequency of 48
kHz or less.
UpSampling
(Up Sampling)
The 2-channel audio source's sampling frequency is increased to the
<e>
set multiple to achieve high quality playback sound.
<f>
DFILTER
Switches the AUDIO DAC (Digital Audio Converter) digital filter type.
(Digital Filter)
One of two settings can be selected: SLOW (soft and warm), SHARP
<e>
(solid and tight), SHORT (quick and forward).

Specifies how dual mono encoded Dolby Digital soundtracks should
