1 Different presets might also have separate calibration settings for the same listening position, depending on how

you’re using your system. These presets can be set in Automatically conducting optimum sound tuning (Auto MCACC)

on page 39 or Automatic MCACC (Expert) on page 87, either of which you should have already completed.

3 • This receiver can only play back Dolby Digital, PCM (32 kHz to 192 kHz), DTS (including DTS 96/24) and WMA9 Pro

digital signal formats. The compatible signals via the HDMI terminals are: Dolby Digital, DTS, WMA9 Pro, PCM (32

kHz to 192 kHz), Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS-EXPRESS, DTS-HD Master Audio and SACD.

• You may get digital noise when an LD, CD, DVD or BD player compatible with DTS is playing an analog signal. To

prevent noise, make the proper digital connections (page 30) and set the signal input to DIGITAL.

• Some DVD players don’t output DTS signals. For more details, refer to the instruction manual supplied with your

DVD player.

4 When the HDMI audio output parameter is set to THROUGH, the sound will be heard through your TV, not from this

receiver.

5 • This is useful if you find there is a slight delay before AUTO recognizes the PCM signal on a CD, for instance.

• When PCM is selected, noise may be output during playback of non-PCM sources. Please select another input

signal if this is a problem.

Better sound using Phase

Control

This receiver’s Phase Control feature uses

phase correction measures to make sure your

sound source arrives at the listening position

in phase, preventing unwanted distortion and/

or coloring of the sound.

Phase Control technology provides coherent

sound reproduction through the use of phase

matching

for an optimal sound image. The

default setting is on and we recommend

leaving Phase Control switched on for all

sound sources.

RECEIVER

1 • Phase matching is a very important factor in achieving proper sound reproduction. If two waveforms are ‘in phase’,

they crest and trough together, resulting in increased amplitude, clarity and presence of the sound signal. If a crest

of a wave meets a trough, then the sound will be ‘out of phase’ and an unreliable sound image will be produced.

• The PHASE CONTROL feature is available even when the headphones are plugged in.

• If your subwoofer has a phase control switch, set it to the plus (+) sign (or 0°). However, the effect you can actually

feel when PHASE CONTROL is set to ON on this receiver depends on the type of your subwoofer. Set your subwoofer

to maximize the effect. It is also recommended you try changing the orientation or the place of your subwoofer.

• Set the built-in lowpass filter switch of your subwoofer to off. If this cannot be done on your subwoofer, set the cutoff

frequency to a higher value.

• If the speaker distance is not properly set, you may not have a maximized PHASE CONTROL effect.

• The PHASE CONTROL mode cannot be set to ON in the following cases:

– When the PURE DIRECT mode is switched on.

– When the HDMI audio output parameter is set to THROUGH in Setting the Audio options on page 68.
