Adaptive DRC (Adaptive dynamic range control)

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” (see page 85).

•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 Lvl (Adaptive DSP effect level)

Use this feature to make fine adjustments of the DSP effect level (see page 74) 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 Lvl” to “Auto”, this unit does not change but fine-tunes the specified value of “DSP Level” (see page 74).

Max Volume (Maximum volume)

Use this feature to set the maximum volume level in the main zone. 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 Volume” is set to –5.0 dB, 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

Initial Volume (Initial volume)

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

Choices: Off, Mute, –80.0 dB to +16.5 dB

Control step: 0.5 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 Volume” setting.

•The “Max Volume” setting takes priority over the initial volume setting. For example, if “Initial Volume” is set to –20.0 dB and “Max Volume” 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.

Muting Type (Muting type)

Use this feature to adjust how much the mute function reduces the output volume (see page 43).

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