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
• The AUDIO PARAMETER menu is not
available with MULTI IN input (see
Selecting the multichannel analog inputs
on page 40).
• 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.

What it does
Switches on/off the effect of Acoustic Calibration EQ.
Some monitors have a slight delay when showing video, so
the soundtrack will be slightly out of sync with the picture.
By adding a bit of delay, you can adjust the sound to match
the presentation of the video.
Allows you to hear effective surround sound of movies at
low volumes.
Used to get good bass and treble from music sources at
low volumes.
When audio data is removed during the WMA/MP3
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.
Specifies how dual mono encoded Dolby Digital
soundtracks should be played.
