About the SRC (Sampling Rate Converter)
(SC-27 only)
The SC-27 is designed for jitterless high sound quality
thanks to the combination of the SRC and a high
precision clock system.
The SRC function expands the dynamic range and
frequency bandwidth for digital audio signals. (PCM 15-
bit or compressed 20-bit audio signals are converted to
24 bits, increasing the sampling frequency for data
processing to achieve smoother, more delicate musical
expression.)
There is no setting to turn the SRC function on or off; the
SRC function is activated in all modes other than Pure
Direct with an analog input and Multi channel analog
input.

Adjusts the level of dynamic

LFE
(LFE
Attenuate)
Some Dolby Digital and DTS
audio sources include ultra-low
bass tones. Set the LFE attenuator
as necessary to prevent the ultra-
low bass tones from distorting the
sound from the speakers.
The LFE is not limited when set to
0 dB, which is the recommended
value. When set to –5 dB, –10 dB,
–15 dB or –20 dB, the LFE is
limited by the respective degree.
When OFF is selected, no sound
is output from the LFE channel.

The video delay time is
automatically adjusted according
to the audio delay time.
