For discs created with standards other than Phase Con-
Phase C+ trol, the LFE channel is delayed upon recording in the
(Phase Control Plus) first place. This function corrects for phase shifting on
such discs.
Some monitors have a slight delay when showing video,
DELAY so the soundtrack will be slightly out of sync with the pic-
(Sound Delay) ture. By adding a bit of delay, you can adjust the sound to
match the presentation of the video.

What it does

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.
When ON is selected, the Sound Retriever effect is
optimized based on the bitrate information of the con-
tents input to the USB memory audio and HOME MEDIA
GALLERY (digital audio input only) to achieve high sound
quality.
May improve the quality of sound in a noisy source (for
example, video tape with lots of background noise) when
switched on.
This only has an effect with 2-channel signal inputs.
Localizes dialog in the center channel to make it stand
out from other background sounds in a TV or movie
soundtrack. By moving from UP1 through UP2 and UP3
up to UP4, you can make the sound source seem to
relocate upwards.
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.
This is useful if you find there is a slight delay before OFF
recognizes the PCM signal on a CD, for instance.
When ON is selected, noise may be output during play-
back of non-PCM sources. Please select another input
signal if this is a problem.
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).
