Balance
This menu point is used to alter the balance in level between the left and
right channels, e.g. to compensate for non-symmetrical loudspeaker
positioning. The balance can be adjusted in increments of 1 dB; the screen
always displays the current value.
 This menu item is displayed according to the format currently being played.
This means that the DSD D/A mode can be selected during DSD playback and
the oversampling types can be selected during PCM playback.
set-up option
PCM D/A mode
(PCM playback only)
The SDV 3100 HV can exploit four different filter types offering different
tonal characters:
 OVS long FIR (1)
is a classic FIR filter with an extremely linear frequency response.
 OVS short FIR (2)
is a FIR filter with improved peak handling.

OVS Bezier / FIR (3)
is a Bezier interpolator combined with a IIR filter. This process produces
a result very similar to an analogue system.
 OVS Bezier (4)
is a pure Bezier interpolator – offering perfect “timing” and dynamics.
 Please refer to the Chapter 'Technical description - Digital filters /
Oversampling' for an explanation of the different filter types.
set-up option
DSD D/A mode
(DSD playback only)
The SDV 3100 HV offers two different converter modes for DSD playback.
 DSD 1

DSD 2
set-up option
Output
With particular instruments or voices the human ear is certainly capable of
detecting whether absolute phase is correct or not. However, absolute phase
is not always correctly recorded.
In this menu item the phase of the signal can be changed from normal to
inverse phase and back.
 The correction is carried out at the digital level, and has absolutely no
adverse effect on sound quality.
set-up option
Bandwidth
In this menu item, the bandwidth of the analogue output filter can be
switched between 60 kHz (normal mode) or 120 kHz (
' WIDE ' mode).
The ‘WIDE ’ setting allows a more spacious music reproduction.
 Please refer to the Chapter 'Technical description - Digital filters /
Oversampling ' for an explanation of the different filter types.
