Audio menu

Select to suit the type of equipment you connected to the HDMI AV OUT terminal.

Select “Bitstream” when the equipment can decode the bitstream (digital form of 5.1-channel data). Otherwise, select “PCM”.

(If the bitstream is output to the equipment without a decoder, high levels of noise can be output and may damage your speakers and hearing.)

Digital Output

≥Bitstream

≥PCM

When audio output is from HDMI AV OUT terminal, and the connected equipment does not support the item selected, the actual output will depend on the performance of this connected equipment.

Dynamic Range

≥On: Adjusts for clarity even when the volume is low. Convenient for late night viewing. (Only works with Dolby Digital)

≥Off

Speaker Settings

Select the delay time of the speakers.

(Effective only when “Surround layout (Recommended)” mode is selected in “Speaker layout” (B 8, Easy setup).)

(Center and surround speakers only)

For optimum listening with 5.1-channel sound, all the speakers, except for the subwoofer, should be the same distance from the seating position.

If you have to place the center or surround speakers closer to the seating position, adjust the delay time to make up for the difference.
