Using the Advanced surround
The Advanced surround feature creates a variety of surround
effects. Try different modes with various soundtracks to see
which you like.
Note
During ECO mode, the brightness switches between 2
levels. If the dimmest level is selected, DIMMER will be
shown on the display. (Mode other than ECO: 3 levels, ECO
mode: 2 levels)
ECO MODE will switch OFF automatically when switched
to other listening modes (Advanced surround mode and
Auto surround mode).
Using Stream Direct
Use the Stream Direct modes when you want to hear the
truest possible reproduction of a source. All unnecessary
signal processing is bypassed.
Using the Sound Retriever
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.
Press
S.RETRIEVER
to switch the S.RTV (Sound
Retriever) ON or OFF.
Note
The Sound Retriever is only applicable to 2-channel
sources.
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.
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.
ACTION Designed for action movies with dynamic
soundtracks.
DRAMA Designed for movies with lots of dialog.
ADVANCED GAME Suitable for video games.
SPORTS Suitable for sports programs.
CLASSICAL Gives a large concert hall-type sound.
ROCK/POP Creates a live concert sound for rock and/or
pop music.
EXT.STEREO Gives multichannel sound to a stereo
source, using all of your speakers.
F.S.S.ADVANCE
(Front Stage
Surround
ADVANCE)
Allows you to create natural surround
sound effects using just the front speakers
and the subwoofer.
Use to provide a rich surround sound effect
directed to the center of where the front left
and right speakers sound projection area
converges.
PHONES SURR When listening through headphones, you
can still get the effect of overall surround.
ECO MODE 1 Cut back on power consumption. Suitable
for contents that are mainly high level
(mainly music).
ECO MODE 2 Cut back on even more power consumption
than ECO MODE 1. Suitable for contents
with wider dynamic range (mainly movies).
