Enhancing SACD playback

• Default setting: 0dB
You can get more detail from SACDs by maximizing the
dynamic range (during digital processing) using the
SACD gain feature.
1 Press RECEIVER.
2 Press EFFECT/CH SEL repeatedly until SACD GAIN
shows in the display.
3 Use the +/– buttons to switch the SACD gain
between 0dB and 6dB.
For most SACD sources, selecting 6dB will result in high
sound quality and greater detail. The level will be
adjusted automatically for playback at the same volume.
Note
• You shouldn't have any problems using this feature
with most SACD discs, but if the sound distorts, it is
best to switch the gain setting back to 0dB.

Dimming the display

panel display. Note that when selecting sources, the
display automatically brightens for a few seconds.
