Phase Matching Bass
■
Phase Matching Bass
`
Off
`
On
From the warm low notes produced by a cello to the
deep frequencies of electronic music, a good audio
system should be able to deliver plenty of bass
resonance.
While traditional enhancement systems effectively
boost low-frequency sound, they are often prone to
the effects of phase shifting, which can overwhelm
mid-range frequencies and muddy the sound. Our
Phase-Matching Bass Boost technology effectively
preserves mid-range clarity-allowing vocals and
strings to shine-while maintaining a smooth, powerful
bass response at all volume levels.
Note
• The Phase Matching Bass is disabled when the Direct or
THX listening mode is selected.
• If the “
Subwoofer
” setting is set to “
No
”, this setting is fixed
to “
Off
”.
• When “
Sound Program
” is enabled, this setting cannot be
used if the “
Subwoofer
” setting is set to “
No
” in “
Sound
Program Edit
” (

For
Dolby Digital
and
Dolby Digital Plus
sources,
the options are:
`
Off
`
Low
:
Small reduction in dynamic range.
`
High
:

”
automatically.
`
Off
`
On
Turn this setting on to reduce the dynamic range of
Dolby Digital material so that you can still hear quiet
parts even when listening at low volume levels—ideal
for watching movies late at night when you don’t want
to disturb anyone.
Note
• The effect of the Late Night function depends on the
material that you are playing and the intention of the original
sound designer, and with some material there will be little
or no effect when you select the different options.
• The Late Night function can be used only when the input
source is Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, or Dolby
TrueHD.
