What it does
Switches on/off the effect of Acoustic Calibration EQ. ON
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.
Adjusts the level of dynamic range for movie
soundtracks optimized for Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby
Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD and DTS 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 –10 dB, the LFE is
limited by the respective degree. When OFF is
selected, no sound is output from the LFE channel.
