* Digital Cinema Auto Calibration EX
Calibration functions for sound fields corresponding to various speaker
installation conditions
Phantom Surround Back: Allows you to enjoy a surround-sound effect acoustically
equivalent to that of a 7-channel speaker system, using only a 5-channel speaker system,
and when using a 5.1.2-channel speaker system, it allows you to enjoy a surround-sound
effect acoustically equivalent to that of a 7.1.2-channel speaker system.
Front Surround: Allows you to enjoy virtual surround-sound with only two front speakers.
In-Ceiling Speaker Mode : Reproduces more natural sound by lowering the position of
audio output from speakers installed in the ceiling.
Center Speaker Lift Up : Reproduces natural sound that feels more authentic by lifting the
sound from the center speaker up to the height of the screen.
Audio technologies for high-definition music playback
Sound fields selectable by preference
You can select from a variety of sound fields according to speaker connections or input sources
(2ch Stereo, Direct, A.F.D. (Auto Format Decoding), etc.).
Upscaling of existing sound sources into higher resolutions with the same
quantity of information as High-Resolution Audio using DSEE HX (*)
The receiver restores signals from compressed sound sources to the region originally included
in High-Resolution Audio content by up-sampling the sampling frequency and expanding the bit
depth to the equivalent of a maximum of 192 kHz/24 bits, letting you enjoy CDs and lossy
compressed sound sources such as MP3 files in expressive sound quality closer to the original.
* Digital Sound Enhancement Engine HX
High-definition BLUETOOTH music playback (LDAC)
LDAC allows approximately three times more data to be transmitted than with the previous
BLUETOOTH A2DP-SBC (328 kbps, 44.1 kHz). The receiver supports wireless playback
(transmission/reception) of high-quality sound when speakers, headphones, a Walkman, or a
smartphone that supports LDAC are connected to the receiver via a BLUETOOTH connection.
Reproduction of authentic impact and realistic sense of immersion in movies
(Sound Optimizer)
Sound Optimizer calibrates disparities in acoustic frequency characteristics caused by the
difference in volume levels between movie production and playback, and reproduces the impact
and immersive surround effect that the movie's sound engineers intended even when the movie
is played back at low volume levels in a home.
Other useful functions
