HAP-Z1ES

Audio Settings

Explains how to set the DSEE (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) function. This function offers natural and expansive sound
by restoring both high-frequency signals and fine fade-out sound that is likely to be lost by compression in compressed audio
sources, or restoring fine fade-out sound that is likely to be lost by quantization in PCM audio sources with lossless
compression.

Using the Gapless Playback function (Gapless Playback)

Explains how to configure the Gapless Playback function. This function allows you to play tracks without the silent part between
tracks. This is useful for playing albums of concerts or other live music.

Using the Volume Normalization function (Volume Normalization)

Explains how to configure the Volume Normalization function. This function allows you to analyze the recording level of tracks
or albums when transferring and registering music files to the HDD AUDIO PLAYER and automatically adjust the volume level
to minimize the difference in volume between each track or album during playback. The volume level is kept constant even if
you play multiple different tracks or albums consecutively.
