USING AUDIO FEATURES
Compression artifacts (such as the MP3 format) are
created by a lossy compression scheme where the audio is
resampled to lower the bit rate and to remove sounds that
are indistinguishable to typical human hearing. The
Compressed Music Enhancer feature of this unit enhances
your listening experience by regenerating the missing
harmonics in a compression artifact. As a result, flattened
complexity due to the loss of high-frequency fidelity as
well as lack of bass due to the loss of low-frequency bass
is compensated, providing improved performance of the
overall sound system.
• When you play back DSD sources or PCM sources whose
sampling frequencies are higher than 48 kHz, this unit samples
them down to 48 kHz or lower and applies the Compressed
Music Enhancer mode.
• The Compressed Music Enhancer mode is not effective with
any of the sound field programs.

You can also select the Compressed Music Enhancer mode and
adjust the parameter by using GUI menu. See page 88 for details.
Press ENHANCER on the front panel (or set the
operation mode selector to AMP and then press
ENHANCER on the remote control) repeatedly to
select the desired Compressed Music Enhancer
mode.
The following short message appears on the video monitor
and the ENHANCER indicator lights up in the front panel
display.
Choices: 2ch Enhancer, 7ch Enhancer, Off
• Select “2ch Enhancer” to play back compression
artifacts in 2-channel stereo.
• Select “7ch Enhancer” to play back compression
artifacts in 7-channel stereo.
• Select “Off” to turn off the Compressed Music
Enhancer mode.
When you select “Off”, this unit returns to the previously
