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.
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 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
