settings you can make using the AUDIO
PARAMETER menu. The defaults, if not stated,
are listed in bold.
Important
• The AUDIO PARAMETER menu is not
available with MULTI IN input (see
Selecting the multichannel analog inputs
on page 32).
• Note that if a setting doesn't appear in the
AUDIO PARAMETER menu, it is
unavailable due to the current source,
settings and status of the receiver.

What it does
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 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.
