Basic Operations—Continued

Using the Music Optimizer

The Music Optimizer function enhances the sound quality of compressed music files. Use it with music files that use “lossy” compression, such as MP3.

(North American models) To turn the Music Optimizer “On” or “Off”, use the AV receiver’s [MUSIC OPTIMIZER] button .

The setting is stored individually for each input selector.

Off: Music Optimizer off (default).

On: Music Optimizer on.

Tip:

This procedure can also be performed on the remote controller by using [AUDIO] button (see page 74).

Note:

The Music Optimizer function only works with PCM digital audio input signals with a sampling rate below 48 kHz and analog audio input signals. The Music Optimizer is disabled when the Direct or Pure Audio listening mode is selected.

Normally, the AV receiver detects the format of digital input signals automatically. However, if you experience either of the following issues when playing PCM or DTS sources, you can specify the signal format manually.

If the beginnings of tracks from a PCM source are cut off, try the PCM setting.

If noise is produced when fast forwarding or rewinding a DTS CD, try the DTS setting.

The setting is stored individually for each input selector.
