Setting What it does Option(s)

a.When MCACC OFF is selected, all MCACC preset memories become deactivated.

LFE ATT

(LFE

Attenuate)

Some Dolby Digital and DTS audio sources include ultra-low bass tones. Set the LFE attenuator as necessary to prevent the ultra-low bass tones from distorting the sound from the speakers.

The LFE is not limited when set to 0 dB, which is the recommended value. When set to –5 dB, –10 dB, –15 dB or –20 dB, the LFE is limited by the respective degree. When OFF is selected, no sound is output from the LFE channel.

0dB

–5dB/ –10dB/ –15dB/ –20dB/

OFF

b.When EQ OFF is selected, the MCACC indicator does not light even when a MCACC preset memory is selected.

c.The adjustment can be made only when TONE is set to ON.

d.The initially set AUTO is only available for Dolby TrueHD signals. Select MAX or MID for signals other than Dolby TrueHD.

e. You shouldn’t have any problems using this with most SACD discs, but if the sound distorts, it is best to switch the gain setting back to 0 dB.

f. This feature is only available when the connected display supports the

automatic audio/video synchronizing capability (‘lip-sync’) for HDMI or

HDMI Control. If you find the automatically set delay time unsuitable, set

A. DELAY to OFF and adjust the delay time manually. For more details

about the lip-sync feature of your display, contact the manufacturer

directly.

g.Only when listening to 2-channel sources in Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music/

Dolby Pro Logic II Music mode.
