Other Settings Using the Setup Menu
Verifying which component is currently
selected (Ping function)
When the Ping function is turned on, you can verify which of the components is currently selected by pressing the DISPLAY button on the receiver. An indication momentarily appears in the display of the currently selected component. The indication varies depending on the component. For example, if the selected component is either the
“N N n n” appears in the display of the component. Note that this function works on Sony i.LINK MD deck and CD player only.
1Press JOG MENU repeatedly until “Setup Menu” appears in the display.
2Rotate the jog dial until “Ping” appears in the display, and then press ENTER.
3Rotate the jog dial until “On” appears in the display, and then press ENTER.
To turn off the Ping function
Do the procedure above, selecting “Off” in step 3.
Improving the quality of the audio signal
(H.A.T.S. function)
When the H.A.T.S. function is turned on, digital audio signals are momentarily stored in a buffer prior to output. This reduces the jitter that sometimes occurs during digital transmission. When this function is turned on, the H.A.T.S. indicator on the front panel lights up whenever the digital audio signal is input to the receiver.
1Press JOG MENU repeatedly until “Setup Menu” appears in the display.
2Rotate the jog dial until “H.A.T.S.” appears in the display, and then press ENTER.
3Rotate the jog dial until “On” appears in the display, and then press ENTER.
To turn off the H.A.T.S. function
Do the procedure above, selecting “Off” in step 3.
Notes
•Due to the operating principle of the H.A.T.S. function, a slight time lag is introduced between the initiation of an operation (e.g., pressing the play button, stop button, or pause button) and the actual audio output.
•The H.A.T.S. function is effective only for the components supporting this function.
•On this receiver, the H.A.T.S. function works only with digital audio signals with a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz.
•The H.A.T.S. function does not work when the program source component selected by the receiver is also selected by another component (e.g., another receiver or the MD deck). This is because the receiver controls the transmission rate of the digital audio signals output from the program source component, and for proper signal transmission, there must be only one component which receives audio signal from a source component within the i.LINK configuration.
•The H.A.T.S. function doesn’t work under the following conditions:
—When the MD is recording from the CD player, and the CD player or the MD deck is selected as the program source.
—When the sampling frequency of the digital signal is not 44.1 kHz.
Clearing the receiver’s memory
The procedure below clears all the menu settings you made from the receiver’s memory and restores the factory settings.
1Press JOG MENU repeatedly until “Setup Menu” appears in the display.
2Rotate the jog dial until “All Clear” appears in the display, and then press ENTER.
3Rotate the jog dial until “Yes” appears in the display, and then press ENTER.
