Bass Manager
This is a special setting for 2ch. PCM / analogue only and
does not otherwise affect the normal working of the Bass
manager. If you want subwoofer output from stereo material
when using large front speakers use this setting . The choices
are:
Normal - No subwoofer out from stereo material when L & R
speakers are set to Large.
L+R to Subwoofer . The low bass output of both channels is
mixed to mono and fed to the subwoofer.
If your speakers are large truly full range models you may
prefer the purist view and disable the subwoofer in Stereo. As
always, personal preferences will come into play.
DAC Filter
You can set the DAC filter to Fast or Slow.
The Fast filter has better technical performance and best
attenuation of spurious signals but sounds "mechanical" to
many people. The Slow filter has improved group delay
characteristics and a gentler roll off but could result in higher
spurious noise levels.
Upsampling
Upsampling applies only to Audio PCM or HDCD streams.
The default setting is "Off". Setting upsampling "On" pushes
the noise spectrum further up the band resulting in an
increased "airy" sound which many prefer. We suggest you
listen with upsampling on and off and choose accordingly.
System Reset
Select YES to reset the system setup parameters to factory
defaults. After a short pause the 8000AP responds with the
message "DONE" and the default status is re-established.
