xA.V.SYNC. X (Time alignment)

•Y (Yes) (Delay time: 68 ms)

The audio output is delayed so that the time gap between the audio output and visual display is minimized.

•N (No) (Delay time: 0 ms)

The audio output is not delayed.

Notes

•This parameter is useful when you use a large LCD or plasma monitor or a projection TV.

•This parameter is valid only when you use a sound field selected with the 2CH or A.F.D. buttons.

•This parameter is not valid when PCM 96kHz, DTS 96/24 or DTS 2048 signals are input or when the receiver is performing DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 decoding.

xDEC. XXXX(Digital audio input decoding priority)

Lets you specify the input mode for the digital signal input to the DIGITAL IN jacks.

The initial setting is “DEC. AUTO” for VIDEO 2 and “DEC. PCM” for DVD and SA-CD/CD.

•AUTO

Automatically switches the input mode between DTS, Dolby Digital, or PCM.

•PCM

PCM signals are given priority (to prevent the interruption when playback starts). Even when other signals are input, the sound is output. However, this receiver cannot decode DTS-CD when set to “DEC. PCM”.

Note

When set to “DEC. AUTO” and the sound from the digital audio jacks (for CD, etc.) is interrupted when playback starts, set to “DEC. PCM”.

xDUAL XXX(Digital broadcast language selection)

Lets you select the language you want to listen to during digital broadcast. This feature only functions for Dolby Digital sources.

•M/S (Main/Sub)

Sound of the main language will be output through the front left speaker and sound of the sub language will be output through the front right speaker simultaneously.

•M (Main)

Sound of the main language will be output.

•S (Sub)

Sound of the sub language will be output.

•M+S (Main + Sub)

Mixed sound of both the main and sub languages will be output.

xNAME IN(Naming preset stations and inputs)
