Using the Advanced surround
The Advanced surround feature creates a variety of surround
effects. Try different modes with various soundtracks to see
which you like.
Note
•
During ECO mode, the brightness switches between 2
levels. If the dimmest level is selected, DIMMER will be
shown on the display. (Mode other than ECO: 4 levels, ECO
mode: 2 levels)
•
ECO MODE will switch
OFF
automatically when switched
to other listening modes (Advanced surround mode and
Auto surround mode).

ECO MODE effects will be hard to achieve if audio input
signal levels are low, or volume is low.
Using Stream Direct
Use the Stream Direct modes when you want to hear the
truest possible reproduction of a source. All unnecessary
signal processing is bypassed.
Using the Sound Retriever
•
Default setting:
OFF
When audio data is removed during the compression
process, sound quality often suffers from an uneven sound
image. The Sound Retriever feature employs new DSP
technology that helps bring CD quality sound back to
compressed 2-channel audio by restoring sound pressure
and smoothing jagged artifacts left over after compression.
