a. The default setting when the iPod/USB, ADAPTER,
NETRADIO, PANDORA, M.SERVER or FAVORITE input is
selected is ON.
b. This setting works only with dual mono encoded Dolby Digital
and DTS soundtracks.
c. The initial set AUTO is only available for Dolby TrueHD signals.
Select MAX or MID for signals other than Dolby TrueHD.
d. You shouldn’t have any problems using this with most SACD
discs, but if the sound distorts, it is best to switch the gain
setting back to 0 dB.
e. This feature is only available when the connected display
supports the automatic audio/video synchronizing capability
(‘lip-sync’) for HDMI. If you find the automatically set delay time
unsuitable, set A.DLY to OFF and adjust the delay time
manually. For more details about the lip-sync feature of your
display, contact the manufacturer directly.

a bit of delay, you can adjust the sound to
match the presentation of the video.

LFE ATT (LFE Attenuate)
Some Dolby Digital and DTS audio sources
include ultra-low bass tones. Set the LFE
attenuator as necessary to prevent the ultra-
low bass tones from distorting the sound from
the speakers.
The LFE is not limited when set to 0 dB, which
is the recommended value. When set to –15
dB, the LFE is limited by the respective
degree. When OFF is selected, no sound is
output from the LFE channel.

A.DLY (Auto Delay)
e
This feature automatically corrects the audio-
to-video delay between components
connected with an HDMI cable. The audio
delay time is set depending on the operational
status of the display connected with an HDMI
cable. The video delay time is automatically
adjusted according to the audio delay time.

PHASE CTRL (Phase Control)
f
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 for an optimal sound image at your
listening position. The default setting is on
and we recommend leaving Phase Control
switched on for all sound sources.
