Other Audio Processing Settings

In addition to

Speaker Configuration, Crossover Frequency

and

Dynamic Range Control

are audio processing settings that can be configured:

1.

Crossover

: Allows you to set the Bass Management kick-in frequency for all speakers. When the speaker size is set to

Small

in

Speaker Configuration

(see page 69), bass information below this frequency is not passed to the speakers to reduce possible distortion, and if the subwoofer is available, bass information will be redirected to the subwoofer. When all speaker sizes are set to

Large

, there is no Bass Management.

40Hz / 50Hz / 60Hz / 70Hz / 80Hz / 90Hz / 100Hz / 110Hz / 120Hz / 130Hz / 140Hz / 150Hz /

160Hz / 200Hz / 250Hz

– These are the available crossover frequencies. You can press the

UP/DOWN ARROW

buttons and the

ENTER

buttons to select it. This option applies to all speakers (center front, surround, and surround back speakers). By default the crossover frequency is

80Hz

.

2.

Dynamic Range Control

: Allows you to set the Dynamic Range Compression (DRC). DRC can smooth out the sonic peaks and valleys common with wide-range digital audio. Enabling DRC may make low level audio more audible during low-level listening. Turning off DRC restores the sonic energy present in the original recording.

Auto

– Plays at the dynamic range specified by the disc. This option applies to certain Bluray Discs only, which have DRC instructions encoded in the Dolby TrueHD audio tracks.

On

– Turn on DRC for all Dolby and DTS audio formats. This option applies to all DVD and

Blu-ray Discs.

Off

– Turn off DRC.

NOTE

Dynamic Range Compression is applied to the analog audio output and digital audio outputs

(HDMI, Coaxial and Optical) when the audio format is set to PCM.

3.

DTS Neo:6 Mode

: Allows you to enable DTS Neo:6 audio processing and select the listening mode.

DTS Neo:6 is a digital signal processing that can expand the original stereo source to 7.0 (L, R, C, L

R

S

, L

R

, R

R

) or 7.1 (with Bass Management) surround.

S

,

Music

– Enables DTS Neo:6 audio processing for stereo music sources.

Cinema

– Enables DTS Neo:6 audio processing for digital TV box or stereo movie sources.

Off

(default) – Turns off the DTS Neo:6 to keep the original audio quality.

4.

Output Volume

: Allows you to enable or disable the analog volume controls (also known as Variable

Audio). The available options are:

Variable

– Enables the analog volume control. Use the

VOL+/-

buttons on the remote to increase/decrease the analog audio output level (the maximum is 100).

Fixed

– Disables the analog volume control. The

VOL+/-

buttons on the remote will no longer affect the analog audio output, and the volume level is fixed to 100.

5.

Power On Volume

: Allows you to set the initial audio volume level after power on. This option will be applied to the 7.1 audio outputs.

Last

(default) – Power on with the previous volume level before the player was turned off. This choice is recommended for regular use.

Custom

– Power on with your preferred volume level. You may use the

LEFT/RIGHT ARROW

buttons on the remote to decrease/increase the volume level. The default level is 40.

6.

Maximum Volume

: Allows you to set the maximum volume level. This option will be applied to the 7.1 audio outputs. You may use the LEFT/RIGHT ARROW buttons on the remote to decrease/increase the volume level. The default value is 100.

7.

A/V Sync

– Allows you to add a slight delay to the audio so it is synchronized to the video. You may use the LEFT/RIGHT ARROW buttons on the remote to decrease/increase the audio delay. The delay can be adjusted in 10ms steps and within the range of -100ms to +200ms. The delayed time will be applied to all output terminals including HDMI 1 and 2, Coaxial, Optical, and 7.1 outputs.

NOTE

The negative adjustment values are for cancelling out the audio delay that the player automatically applies. Depending on the video source and the time it takes to process the video, the main decoder chip automatically applies an audio delay in order to optimize audio video synchronization.

The negative manual settings reduce the automatic audio delay, while the positive manual settings apply additional delay. Any negative value setting beyond the player's automatic delay will be treated as completely cancelling the automatic delay. For example, if the "A/V Sync" value is manually set to -100ms and for the current video source the player applies a 70ms automatic audio delay, the final result is that the 70ms audio delay gets cancelled and the audio is not delayed at all. It is not possible to put audio ahead of video using this setting.

For content sent through HDMI IN, the "A/V Sync" adjustment only works with positive values.
