Audio settings menu parameters

xA/V Sync

(Synchronizes audio and video output)

Lets you delay the output of audio to minimize the time gap between audio output and visual display. You can adjust the delay from 0 ms to 300 ms in 10 ms steps.

Notes

•This function is useful when you use a large LCD or plasma monitor or a projector.

•You can adjust the delay to up to 300 ms

–The sampling frequency is less than 48 kHz.

–2 channel analog signals.

•You can adjust the delay to up to 150 ms

–The sampling frequency is 88.2 kHz or 96 kHz. Although the parameter appears up to 300 ms at this time, you cannot adjust the delay by more than 150 ms.

•This function does not work in the following cases.

–The multi-channel input is selected.

–Input signals of which the sampling frequency is more than 96 kHz are being received.

–The multi-channel Linear PCM signals are received via an HDMI IN jack.

–“2ch Analog Direct” is being used.

–“Neural-THX” is selected as the sound field type.

xDual Mono

(Digital broadcast language selection)

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

•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.

•MAIN

Sound of the main language will be output.

•SUB

Sound of the sub language will be output.

•MAIN+SUB

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

xDecode Priority

(Digital audio input decoding priority)

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

•PCM

When signals from the DIGITAL IN jack are selected, PCM signals are given priority (to prevent interruption when playback starts). However, when other signals are input, there may be no sound, depending on the format. In this case, set this item to “AUTO.” When signals from the HDMI IN jack are selected, only PCM signals are output from the connected player. When signals in any other format are received, set this item to “AUTO.”

•AUTO

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

Note

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