Press repeatedly to cycle through the possible video
sources. You can select
DVD/LD, TV, SAT, VIDEO, DVR/
VCR1, VCR2, VCR3 or OFF (no video signal).
Note
• If you change the source using the input buttons (or
front panel INPUT SELECTOR dial), the system
returns to normal playback.
Enhancing SACD playback
You can get more detail from SACDs by maximizing the
dynamic range (during digital processing) using the
SACD gain feature.
1 Press OPTION repeatedly until SACD GAIN shows
in the display.
With the remote, you may need to press on the
Home menu ( ) first before reaching the amplifier
menu screen shown below (use the / (cursor left/
right) soft keys to go to the previous/next menu screen).
2 Use the (OPTION) +/– buttons to switch the SACD
gain between 0dB and 6dB.
For most SACD sources, selecting
6dB will result in high
sound quality and greater detail. The level will be
adjusted automatically for playback at the same volume.
3 Press ENTER to confirm.
Note
• You shouldn’t have any problems using this feature
with most SACD discs, but if the sound distorts, it is
best to switch the gain setting back to
0dB.
Using the A/D converters to give
greater definition to 2-channel sound
This amplifier has high-quality 192kHz (24bit) A/D
converters that can be used in parallel to provide greater
resolution of DSP processing with analog 2-channel
sources. There are two ways to get 192kHz A/D
conversion:
1 Switch the SD:1 NORMAL Stream Direct mode
on.
See
Using the Stream Direct mode on page 43 for more on
this.
2 Select the STEREO listening mode and switch off
any other sound processing features.
These features include:
• Midnight/Loudness (page 48)
• Digital Noise Reduction (page 49)
• Dynamic Range Control (page 87)
Also, make sure you also switch the multichannel input
to
2 CHANNEL in Selecting USB and multichannel analog
input channels on page 45.
