Adaptive dynamic range control

ADAPTIVE DRC

Use this feature to adjust the dynamic range in conjunction with the volume level. This feature is useful when you are listening at lower volumes or at night. When “ADAPTIVE DRC” is set to “AUTO”, this unit controls the dynamic range as follows:

–If the VOLUME setting is low: the dynamic range is narrow

–If the VOLUME setting is high: the dynamic range is wide

level	AUTO	level
			AUTO
Output		Output
	OFF		OFF

Input level		Input level
VOLUME: low		VOLUME: high
Choice		Functions
AUTO	Adjusts the dynamic range automatically.
OFF	Does not adjust the dynamic range automatically.

•You can also adjust the dynamic range of the bitstream signal sources by using “DYNAMIC RANGE” in “SOUND MENU” (see page 74).

•This function is also useful for listening with your headphones.

Note

The adaptive dynamic range control feature does not function when this unit is in the Pure Direct mode (see page 51).

Adaptive DSP level ADAPTIVE DSP LEVEL

Use this feature to make fine adjustments of the DSP effect level (see page 57) automatically in conjunction with the volume level.

Choice	Functions
AUTO	Adjusts the DSP effect level in conjunction with
	the volume level.
OFF	Does not adjust the DSP effect level
	automatically.

Note

Even if you set “ADAPTIVE DSP LEVEL” to “AUTO”, this unit does not change but the fine-tunes the specified value of “DSP LEVEL” (see page 57).

Muting type MUTE TYPE

Use this feature to adjust how much the mute function reduces the output volume (see page 44).

Choice	Functions
FULL	Mutes all the audio output.
–20dB	Reduces the current volume by 20 dB.

Maximum volume MAX VOL.

Use this feature to set the maximum volume level. This feature is useful to avoid the unexpected loud sound by mistake. For example, the original volume range is –80.0 dB to +16.5 dB. However, when “MAX VOL.” is set to –

5.0dB, the volume range becomes –80.0 dB to –5.0 dB.

Control range: –30.0 dB to +15.0 dB, +16.5 dB

Control step: 5.0 dB

Notes

•When this unit is in the auto setup procedure, the volume level is automatically set to 0 dB regardless of the current “MAX VOL.” setting.

•The “MAX VOL.” setting takes priority over the initial volume setting. For example, if “INI.VOL.” is set to –20.0 dB and “MAX VOL.” is set to –30.0 dB, the volume level is automatically set to –30.0 dB when you turn on the power of this unit next time.

Initial volume INIT. VOL.

Use this feature to set the volume level of this unit when the power of this unit is turned on.

Choices: OFF, MUTE, –80.0 dB to +16.5 dB

Control step: 0.5 dB

Note

The “MAX VOL.” setting takes priority over the initial volume setting.
