Listening to your system

Listening with Acoustic Calibration EQ

You can listen to sources using the Acoustic Calibration

Equalization set in Automatically setting up for surround

sound (MCACC) on page 23. Refer to these pages for more on

Acoustic Calibration Equalization.



While listening to a source, press , then press

to switch the EQ (Acoustic Calibration EQ) ON or

OFF.

The MCACC indicator on the front panel lights when

Acoustic Calibration EQ is active.

•

You can’t use Acoustic Calibration EQ with Stream

Direct mode and it has no effect with headphones.

Better sound using Phase Control

This receiver’s Phase Control feature uses phase correction

measures to make sure your sound source arrives at the

listening position in phase, preventing unwanted distortion

and/or coloring of the sound.

Phase Control technology provides coherent sound

reproduction through the use of phase matching for an

optimal sound image at your listening position. The default

setting is on and we recommend leaving Phase Control

switched on for all sound sources.



While listening to a source, press , then press

PHASE

to switch the P.CTL (Phase Control) ON or OFF.

Note

•

Phase matching is a very important factor in achieving

proper sound reproduction. If two waveforms are ‘in phase’,

they crest and trough together, resulting in increased

amplitude, clarity and presence of the sound signal. If a

crest of a wave meets a trough, then the sound will be ‘out

of phase’ and an unreliable sound image will be produced.

•

If your subwoofer has a phase control switch, set it to the

plus (+) sign (or 0°). However, the effect you can actually

feel when Phase Control is set to ON on this receiver

depends on the type of your subwoofer. Set your subwoofer

to maximize the effect. It is also recommended you try

changing the orientation or the place of your subwoofer.

•

Set the built-in lowpass filter switch of your subwoofer to

OFF. If this cannot be done on your subwoofer, set the

cutoff frequency to a higher value.

•

If the speaker distance is not properly set, you may not have

a maximized Phase Control effect.

•

The Phase Control mode cannot be set to ON in the

following cases:

When the PURE DIRECT mode is switched on.

When the headphones are connected.

Using surround back channel processing (VSX-

1023 only)

You can have the receiver automatically use 6.1 or 7.1

decoding for 6.1 encoded sources (for example, Dolby Digital

EX or DTS-ES), or you can choose to always use 6.1 or 7.1

decoding (for example, with 5.1 encoded material). With 5.1

encoded sources, a surround back channel will be generated,

but the material may sound better in the 5.1 format for which

it was originally encoded (in which case, you can simply

switch surround back channel processing off).

•

With a 7.1-channel surround system, audio signals that

have undergone matrix decoding processing through

surround back channel processing to which the Up Mix

function is added are output from the surround back

speakers.



Press , then press

SB CH

repeatedly to cycle

the surround back channel options.

Each press cycles through the options as follows:

•

SB ON – Matrix decoding processing for generating

the surround back component from the surround

component is turned on.

•

SB AUTO – Matrix decoding processing for generating

the surround back component from the surround

component is switched automatically. Matrix

decoding processing is only performed when surround

back channel signals are detected in the input signals.

•

SB OFF – Matrix decoding processing for generating

the surround back component from the surround

component is turned off.

Setting the Up Mix function (VSX-1023 only)

In a 7.1-channel surround system with surround speakers

placed directly at the sides of the listening position, the

surround sound of 5.1-channel sources is heard from the side.

The Up Mix function mixes the sound of the surround

speakers with the surround back speakers so that the

surround sound is heard from diagonally to the rear as it

should be.

•

Using the Up Mix function is effective when the speakers in

the 7.1-channel surround system are set up as

recommended in the example on page 11
