What it does
Adjusts the amount of bass.
Adjusts the amount of treble.
With the 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.
May improve the quality of sound in a noisy source (for example,
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.
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).
Some Dolby Digital and DTS audio sources include ultra-low bass
tones. Set the LFE attenuator as necessary to prevent the ultra-low
bass tones from distorting the sound from the speakers.
The LFE is not limited when set to 0 dB, which is the
recommended value. When set to –5 dB, –10 dB, –15 dB or –20
dB, the LFE is limited by the respective degree. When OFF is
selected, no sound is output from the LFE channel.
Brings out detail in SACDs by maximizing the dynamic range
(during digital processing).
Specifies the routing of the HDMI audio signal out of this receiver
(amp) or through to a TV or flat screen TV. When THROUGH is
selected, no sound is output from this receiver.
This feature automatically corrects the audio-to-video delay
between components connected with an HDMI cable. The audio
delay time is set depending on the operational status of the
display connected with an HDMI cable. The video delay time is
automatically adjusted according to the audio delay time.
