can always enjoy tracks with your favorite characteristics.
To change the settings again, make the changes using the
same procedure. The settings can be changed when the track
is stopped.
7 Playing the CD layer of an audio
CD or Super Audio CD
q Noise shaper operation
In this unit, you can select noise shaper on or off for play-
ing tracks.
The noise shaper is turned on and off by pressing the
NOISE SHAPER
button while the track is stopped. When
turned on, the NSHP indicator lights up on the LCD.
* Noise shaping is a type of digital feedback used in the
algorithms for oversampling. Digital feedback improves
the linearity of bass sounds and the noise characteristics
of the audio frequency band. However, this digital feed-
back is still feedback nonetheless. Generally, in amplifi-
ers and other equipment, the sound quality changes
based on the amount of feedback. Low feedback is said
to result in poor audio characteristics but good sound.
Although no measurement differences are shown in the
SA-7S1, the sound quality is changed. Therefore, make
the setting according to your preferences.
w DC filter operation
The DC filter is turned on and off by pressing the
DC FILTER
button while the track is stopped. When turned
on, the DCF indicator lights up on the LCD.
* The DC filter is effective when the speakers vibrate ab-
normally for discs with recorded audio having extremely
low noise characteristics. (The cutoff frequency is set to
1.7Hz.)
e Digital output off operation
The digital output function is turned on and off by pressing
the
DIGITAL OUT
button while the track is stopped. When
digital output is turned off, the D OFF indicator lights up on
the LCD.
* When digital output is not used, setting to digital output
off enables you to enjoy better sound quality.
Note
* The noise shaper, DC filter, and digital output off have a
memory retention function where the settings remain stored
and unchanged even when the disc is changed or the power
is turned off.
