Selecting MCACC presets
• Default setting: MEMORY 1
If you have calibrated your system for different listening
positions, you can switch between settings to suit the
kind of source you’re listening to and where you’re sitting
(for example, watching movies from a sofa, or playing a
video game close to the TV).
• While listening to a source, press , then
press MCACC.
Press repeatedly to select one of the six MCACC presets
1 .
See Data Management on page 80 to check and manage
your current settings.
Choosing the input signal
On this receiver, it is possible to switch the input signals
for the different inputs as described below.

• Press , then press SIGNAL SEL to select
the input signal corresponding to the source
component.
Each press cycles through the options as follows:
• AUTO – The receiver selects the first available signal
in the following order: HDMI; DIGITAL; ANALOG.
• ANALOG – Selects an analog signal.
• DIGITAL – Selects an optical or coaxial digital signal.
• HDMI – Selects an HDMI signal. 3
• PCM – For PCM input signals.

The receiver selects
the first available signal in the following order: HDMI;
DIGITAL.
When set to DIGITAL, HDMI or AUTO (only selected
DIGITAL or HDMI), the indicators light according to the
signal being decoded (see Display on page 13).
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
5 for an
optimal sound image. The default setting is on and we
recommend leaving Phase Control switched on for all
sound sources.
• Press , then press PHASE CTRL (PHASE
CONTROL) to switch on phase correction.
The PHASE CONTROL indicator on the front panel lights.
Note
1 • These settings have no effect when headphones are connected.
• You can also press / to select the MCACC preset.
2 • 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 28) 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.
3 When the HDMI audio output parameter is set to THROUGH, the sound will be heard through your TV, not from this receiver.
4 • 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.

5 • 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 59.
