xi POWER (i.LINK power management)
•AUTO
Lets you turn off the power of the unnecessary i.LINK circuits automatically. You can enjoy high quality digital or analog audio without the influence of the i.LINK circuits. When set to “AUTO”, it takes some time to output the sound. See page 25 for a note on switching the input when set to “AUTO”.
•EVER ON
Lets you keep the power of the i.LINK circuits. Select if you do not like the time lag that occurs with the “AUTO” setting.
xH.A.T.S. (H.A.T.S. (High quality digital Audio Transmission System) function)
•ON
The digital audio signals input from the i.LINK component is stored in the buffer temporarily, then retrieved from the buffer and converted to analog audio signals at the proper timing. The sound quality is enhanced because there is no jitter (timing gaps when reading signals) when transmitting the digital audio signals. If you do not want to use this function, select “OFF”.
•OFF
This function is not activated.
Note
It takes some time to output the sound after the playback operation is performed on the connected component (ex., press PLAY button, press STOP button, press PAUSE button) due to limitations of the H.A.T.S. system. The time lag depends on the sound source.
x
On some multi channel Super Audio CDs, the 6th channel is not for the sub woofer, but contains some other sound (such as reverberation from the ceiling, etc.).
This item lets you switch the output of the 6th channel signals from the SUB WOOFER PRE OUT to the SURROUND BACK terminals.
•ON
6th channel DSD signals input through the i.LINK connection and SUB WOOFER channel signals input through the MULTI CHANNEL IN 1 or MULTI CHANNEL IN 2 terminals are output from the SURROUND BACK terminals, and no sound is output from the SUB WOOFER PRE OUT.
•OFF
Sound is output from the SUB WOOFER PRE OUT as normal.
Note
This function does not work when “SURR BACK SP” in the SPEAKER SET UP menu is set to “NO” (page 22).
xLIP SYNC (Time alignment)
Initial setting: 0 ms
Lets you delay the output of audio to adjust the gap between video and audio. You can adjust from 0 ms to 200 ms in 10 ms steps.
This function is not available in the following cases:
–When analog input is selected and DIRECT function is used.
–When MULTI CH IN 1/2 is selected.
–When DSD signal is input from the i.LINK component.
xDC PHASE L. (DC Phase Linearlizer)
Lets you approximate the low frequency phase characteristics to a traditional analog amplifier.
•OFF
Phase correction is not performed.
•
The bandwidth range of the phase correction increases in the order of “LOW”, “STD”, “HIGH”. “B” parameter phase correction provides more enhanced bass characteristics.
xMIX SCALING (Downmix scaling)
Lets you adjust the downmix scaling processing for center and sub woofer channels. This parameter can be set only when the center speaker is set to “MIX”.
•ON
The downmix scaling is performed.
•OFF
The downmix scaling is not performed so that the sound quality is not deteriorated. If the sound is heard like a noise at the high input level, set to “ON”.
xS.FIELD LINK (Sound field link)
•ON
Lets you apply the last selected sound field to an input whenever it is selected. For example, if you select STADIUM for the CD/SACD input, then change to a different input and return to CD/SACD, STADIUM will automatically be applied again.
•OFF
Sound field link is not activated.
xDEC. PRIORITY
(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 “AUTO” for VIDEO 1, VIDEO 2, VIDEO 3, VIDEO 4, VIDEO 5, LD, TV/SAT, TAPE,
