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 distor tion and/or coloring of the sound.
During multichannel playback, LFE (Low-Frequency
Effects) signals as well as low-frequency signals in each
channel are assigned to the subwoofer or the other most
appropriate speaker. At least in theor y, however, this type
of processing involves a group delay that varies with
frequency, resulting in phase distortion where the low-
frequency sound is delayed or muffled by the conflict
with other channels. With the Phase Control mode
s
wit
ched on, this receiver can reproduce powerful bass
sound without deteriorating the quality of the original
sound (see illustration below).
Note
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 setting up for surround sound (Auto MCACC) on page 41 or Automatic MCACC (Expert) on page 78,
either of which you should have already completed.
2 • These settings have no effect when headphones are connected.
• You can also press / to select the MCACC preset.
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, SACD and DVD Audio (including 192 kHz). With other digital signal formats, set to ANALOG (the

• You may get digital noise when a LD or CD player compatible with DTS is playing an analog signal. To prevent noise, make the proper dig
ital
con
nections (page 29) 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.

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