Settings for the audio

(AUDIO menu)

You can use the AUDIO menu to make settings for the audio to suit your preference. Select “5-AUDIO” in the amplifier menus. For details on adjusting the parameters, see “Navigating through menus” (page 44) and “Overview of the menus” (page 45).

AUDIO menu parameters

xDEC. PRI. (Digital audio input decoding priority)

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

•DEC. AUTO

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

•DEC. PCM

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 to “DEC. AUTO”.

When signals from the HDMI IN jack are selected, only PCM signals are output from the connected component. When signals other than PCM signals are received, set this item to “DEC. AUTO”.

Note

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

xDUAL (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.

•DUAL 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.

•DUAL M (Main)

Sound of the main language will be output.

•DUAL S (Sub)

Sound of the sub language will be output.

•DUAL M+S (Main + Sub)

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

xA.V. SYNC. (Synchronizes audio with video output)

Lets you delay the output of audio to minimize the time gap between audio output and visual display. You can adjust from 0 (0 ms) to 20 (200 ms) in 1 (10 ms) steps.

Notes

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

•This parameter is not valid when

–the multi channel PCM signals are received via a HDMI IN jack.

–ANALOG DIRECT is selected.
