About Audyssey Dynamic Surround Expansion (DSX)

Audyssey DSX is a scalable surround expansion system that adds new channels to improve the surround impression. Based on research in human hearing DSX adds a pair of Wide channels in the front because that information is critical in the rendering of a realistic soundstage. DSX then adds a pair of Height channels above the main front channels to reproduce the next most important acoustical and perceptual cues related to soundstage depth. In addition to creating these new channels, DSX applies Surround Envelopment Processing to enhance the blend between the front and side/back surround channels.The result is a much more seamless and enveloping home theater experience.

About the RESTORER function

Such compressed audio formats as MP3, WMA (Windows Media Audio) and MPEG-4 AAC reduce the amount of data by eliminating signal components that are hard for the human ear to hear. The RESTORER function generates the signals eliminated upon compression, restoring the sound to conditions near those of the original sound before compression. It also corrects the sense of volume of the bass to obtain richer sound with compressed audio signals.

This is displayed on the GUI menu and can be set when the input source is set to “TUNER”, “XM”, “HD Radio” or “NET/USB”, or when analog signals (including FM/AM signals) or PCM signals (fs = 44.1/48 kHz) are input.
