Using other functions

Using the A/D converters to give greater definition to 2-channel sound

This receiver has high-quality 192kHz (24bit) A/D converters that can be used in parallel to provide greater resolution of DSP processing with analog 2-channel sources. There are two ways to get 192kHz A/D conversion:

1Switch the SD:1 NORMAL Stream Direct mode

on.

See Using the Stream Direct mode on page 45 for more on this.

2Select the STEREO listening mode and switch off any other sound processing features.

These features include:

•Midnight/Loudness (page 50)

•Digital Noise Reduction (page 51)

•Dynamic Range Control (page 92)

Also, make sure you also switch the multichannel input to 2 CHANNEL in Selecting USB and multichannel analog input channels on page 47.

Dimming the display

You can choose between four brightness for the front panel display. Note that when selecting sources, the display automatically brightens for a few seconds.

•From the remote control receiver menu, press DISPLAY DIMMER repeatedly to change the brightness of the front panel display.

Switching the speaker impedance

• Default setting: Speaker 6Ω

You can use speakers with a nominal impedance between 4-16Ωbut if you are using speakers with an impedance of less than 6Ω, you must change the impedance setting below.

• With the receiver in standby, press		STANDBY/
ON while holding down the OPTION – button.

Each time you do this, you switch between the impedance settings:

•Speaker 4Ω – Use this setting if your speakers are rated lower than 6Ω (down to 4Ω).

•Speaker 6Ω – Use this setting if your speakers are rated 6Ω–16Ω.

Note

•If you select Speaker 4Ω above, the Stream Direct setting is fixed at SD:1 NORMAL (see Using the Stream Direct mode on page 45).
