Setting | What it does | Option(s) |
There are a number of additional sound settings you can make using the AUDIO PARAMETER menu. The defaults, if not stated, are listed in bold.
Important
!Note that if a setting doesn’t appear in the AUDIO PARAMETER menu, it is unavailable due to the current source, settings and status of the receiver.
S.RTRV
(Auto Sound Retriever) <b>
With the Auto Sound Retriever function, DSP processing is used to compensate for the loss of audio data upon compression, improving the sound’s sense of density and modulation.
Also, when a player supporting the Sound Retriever Link function is connected to the receiver by HDMI, by setting this to ON, the bitrate information of the compressed audio file being played on the player is acquired using the Control with HDMI function, and the sound is optimized based on this information (Sound Retriever Link).
