<a>

OFF

PHASE C+

(Phase Control Plus)

For discs created with standards other than Phase Control, the LFE

channel is delayed upon recording in the first place. This function

corrects for phase shifting on such discs.

This function is particularly effective when playing multi-channel

music containing low frequency effects (LFE).

When AUTO is selected, not only the low range delay but also the

polarity and correlation are detected to achieve the optimum effect.

c AUTO/0 to 16 (ms) d

Default: AUTO

DELAY

(Sound Delay)

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.

c 0 to 800 (ms) d

Default: 0

TONE

(Tone Control)

Applies the treble and bass tone controls to a source, or bypasses

them completely.

VSX-830 only: This setting is only displayed when the listening mode is

STEREO, Auto surround (STEREO) or SOUND RETRIEVER AIR.

S.RTRV

(Auto Sound Retriever)

<c>

With the Auto Sound Retriever function, DSP processing is used to

compensate for the loss of audio data upon compression, improving

the sound’s sense of density and modulation.

Also, when a player supporting the Sound Retriever Link function is

connected to the receiver by HDMI, by setting this to ON, the bitrate

information of the compressed audio file being played on the player

is acquired using the Control with HDMI function, and the sound is

optimized based on this information (Sound Retriever Link).

OFF

DNR

(Digital Noise Reduction)

May improve the quality of sound in a noisy source (for example, video

tape with lots of background noise) when switched on.

This only has an effect with 2-channel signal inputs.

This mode is effective for contents with a sampling frequency of 48

kHz or less.

OFF

DIALOG E

(Dialog Enhancement)

Localizes dialog in the center channel to make it stand out from other

background sounds in a TV or movie soundtrack.

c OFF/FLAT d

Default: OFF

Hi-bit24

<a>

<d>

Creates a wider dynamic range with digital sources like CDs, DVDs or

BDs. 16- and 20-bit PCM as well as compressed audio is requantized

to 24 bits, more subtle musical expression.

This mode is effective for contents with a sampling frequency of 48

kHz or less.

OFF

DUAL

(Dual Mono)

Specifies how dual mono encoded Dolby Digital soundtracks should

be played. Dual mono is not widely used, but is sometimes necessary

when two languages need to be sent to separate channels.

CH1 – Channel 1 is

nels heard from front

PCM sources. Please select another input signal if this is a problem.

OFF

DRC

(Dynamic Range Control)

<f>

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 listen-

ing to surround sound at low volumes).

AUTO

MAX

MID

OFF

Loud Mgmt

(Loudness Management)

This is a setting of the post process function of the Dolby TrueHD

decoder. By setting to OFF, you can enjoy higher sound quality.
