Integra DPS-7.3 Gain Settings Expert, CD Digital Direct Expert, Fix Factory setting

Adjusting Audio and Video Settings

Setting the Audio 2 Options

■Gain Settings Expert

You may want to make this setting if you connected this player to your amplifier using the 5.1 channel analog outputs.

Under the default setting, all channels are output at the relative volumes they were recorded at. Change the setting to [Variable] if you want to adjust the relative volume levels of any of the speakers. Adjustment is in the range of –6dB to +6dB, in steps of 0.5dB.

When set to [Variable], the overall output level may sound quieter than when set to [Fix]. This is not a malfunction.

Notes

•Gain settings are not effective when playing a CD with CD Digital Direct set to [On].

•When set to [Variable], the overall output level is set to –6.0dB. Adjust the relative volume levels of [C (center)], [LS (left surround)], [RS (right surround)], and [SW (subwoofer)] in the range of –6.0dB to +6.0dB from the value. The maximum output level (+6.0dB) which is set to [Variable] is same as the output level when set to [Fix].

Therefore, when set to [Variable], the output level sounds quieter than the output level when set to [Fix], in almost all cases.

■CD Digital Direct Expert

Setting this to On increases CD audio quality by bypassing certain audio circuits in the player that audio signal would otherwise pass through. However, this must be set to [Off] for proper playback of DTS encoded CDs.

Note

If this setting is set to [On] when a DTS CD is playback, noise is

produced.

To help you gauge the correct gain levels, set the [Test Tone] to [On] (test tone from just that speaker) or [Auto] (test tone from each speaker in turn, excluding the subwoofer) then adjust the gain so that all speakers appear to be the same volume from your listening position.

Follow the on-screen displays to select speakers and set the channel levels.

•You can adjust the [Test Tone] setting only when the player is stopped.

•Many AV amplifiers allow you to make similar settings at the amplifier stage. In this case, set the channel levels at the player or the amplifier, not both.

•As the test tone plays through a speaker, its name is highlighted in yellow on-screen.
