System Settings menu parameters

The initial setting is underlined.

xDEC. PRIORITY(Digital audio input decoding priority)

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

•AUTO

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

•PCM

PCM signals are given priority (to prevent interruption when playback starts).

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.”

xDUAL MONO(Bilingual audio selection)

For a bilingual broadcast, you can select the language you want to listen to. This feature only functions for Dolby Digital sources.

•MAIN/SUB

Sound of the main language will be output through the left speaker, and sound of the sub language will be output through the 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.

xD.RANGE COMP.(Dynamic range compressor)

Lets you compress the dynamic range of the soundtrack. This may be useful when you want to watch movies at low volumes late at night. Dynamic range compression is possible with Dolby Digital sources only.

•OFF

The dynamic range is not compressed.

•STD

The dynamic range is compressed as intended by the recording engineer.

•MAX

The dynamic range is compressed dramatically.

Tip

Dynamic range compressor lets you compress the dynamic range of the soundtrack based on the dynamic range information included in the Dolby Digital signal.

“STD” is the standard setting, but it only enacts light compression. Therefore, we recommend using the “MAX” setting. This greatly compresses the dynamic range and lets you view movies late at night at low volumes. Unlike analog limiters, the levels are predetermined and provide a very natural compression.

xDC PHASE L.(DC Phase Linearizer)

Lets you approximate the low frequency phase characteristics to a traditional analog amplifier.

•OFF

Phase correction is not performed.

•LOW-A, STD-A, HIGH-A, LOW-B, STD- B, HIGH-B

The bandwidth range of the phase correction increases in the order of “LOW,” “STD,” “HIGH.”

“B” parameter phase correction provides more enhanced bass characteristics.
