Setting/What it does
DRC (Dynamic Range Control)
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).
LFE ATT (LFE Attenuate)
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 –15
dB, the LFE is limited by the respective
degree. When OFF is selected, no sound is
output from the LFE channel.
f
SACD G. (SACD Gain)
Brings out detail in SACDs by maximizing the
dynamic range (during digital processing).
HDMI (HDMI Audio)

out of this receiver (AMP) or through to a TV

output from this receiver.
The HDMI Audio setting cannot be switched
while performing synchronized amp mode
operations (page 55).
A.DLY (Auto Delay) g
This feature automatically corrects the audio-
to-video delay between components

adjusted according to the audio delay time.
