Various Settings—Continued

PHASE (Switching Analog Output Phase)* This preference configures the setting to switch the phase of the audio output.

You may give it a try to switch and listen so that an opti- mum sound quality can be obtained from the amplifier and the speakers on line.

NORMAL (Normal Phase)

The waveform recorded in CD disc will be output with its polarity left intact.

REVERSE (Reversed Phase)

The waveform recorded in CD disc will be output with its reversed polarity.

Notes:

The preference is valid for analog output only.

If any preference produces no distinctive effect, use the DX-7555 with the factory default setting (NORMAL).

CLOCK ADJ (Clock Adjustment)*

This preference configures the setting to fine adjust the clock on which the audio processing is based. Normally, you may use the DX-7555 with a value of 0 (factory default setting).

Depending on the disc you use, you may hear slurred or unclear sound, in other word a sound image may be blurred. In such cases, you can obtain a clear sound image, or acoustic field, by adjusting the clock.

Give it a try to fine adjust the clock, while listening the playback, and then set your preference.

+ xx:

The clock frequency increases relative to the factory default setting.

– yy:

The clock frequency decreases relative to the factory default setting.

Notes:

You can adjust in an approximate range between +40 and –40.

If any adjustment produces no distinctive effect, use the DX-7555 with the factory default setting (0).

DISC NAME (DISPLAY/NOT)

This preference determines whether or not the disc name is displayed when an MP3 disc is read.

GROUP NAME (SCROLL/NOT)*

BAD NAME (REPLACE/NOT)

This preference determines whether or not track and folder names that contain undisplayable characters are replaced with “TRACK n” or “GROUP n,” “n” being the track or folder number. When set to NOT, displayable characters are displayed and underscores are used in place of any undisplayable characters.

For ID3 tags, underscores are used in place of undisplay- able characters regardless of this preference.

Note:

Track and folder names are scrolled in Navigation mode (page 15) regardless of the TRACK NAME and GROUP NAME preferences.

Extra Items

ID3 VER 1 (READ/NOT)

JOLIET (USE SVD/ISO9660)

This preference applies to MP3 discs in Joliet format and determines whether the DX-7555 reads the SVD data or treats the disc as an ISO 9660 disc. Normally, this pref- erence doesn’t need to be changed.

SVD (Supplementary Volume Descriptor) supports long file and folder names and characters other than letters and numbers. Some CD burning software refers to the Joliet format as “Windows format.”
