[. . . ] STEREO ­ See Listening in stereo above for more on this. ⷠALC ­ See Listening in stereo above for more on this. ADVANCE ­ Use to provide a rich surround sound effect directed to the center of where the front left and right speakers sound projection area converges. DIRECT ­ Sources are heard according to the settings made in the Surround Setup (speaker setting, channel level, speaker distance), as well as with dual mono settings. 1 You will hear sources according to the number of channels in the signal. ⷠPURE DIRECT ­ Analog and PCM sources are heard without any digital processing. 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. Listening to your system 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 (see illustration below). During multichannel playback, LFE (LowFrequency Effects) signals as well as lowfrequency signals in each channel are assigned to the subwoofer or other the subwoofer and the most appropriate speaker. At least in theory, however, this type of processing involves a group delay that varies with frequency, resulting in phase distortion where the low-frequency sound is delayed or muffled by the conflict with other channels. ⷠSB OFF ­ Matrix decoding processing for generating the surround back component from the surround component is turned off. Using surround back channel processing You can have the receiver automatically use 6. 1 encoded sources (for example, Dolby Digital EX or DTS-ES), or you can choose to always use 6. 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). 1 You can't use Acoustic Calibration EQ with Stream Direct mode and it has no effect with headphones. Listening to your system 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. 1 · 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 16. [. . . ] ⷠIf you want to switch the input source, you'll have to switch functions on both the receiver and your display unit. ⷠSince the sound is muted on the display when using the HDMI connection, you must adjust the volume on the display every time you switch input sources. Connect your HDMI-equipped component directly to the display using an HDMI cable. Then use the most convenient connection (digital is recommended) for sending audio to the receiver. [. . . ]
