RESTORER

This function restores compressed audio signals to how they were before compression and corrects the sense of volume of the bass and treble to obtain richer playback sound.

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 “Surround Parameter” and can be set when the input source is selected to “XM” or analog signals (including AM/FM signals) or PCM signals (fs = 44.1/48 kHz) are input.

When the surround mode is set to “neural”, the “RESTORER” can not be selected.
