the MCACC system and the Phase Control
effect.
!
PURE DIRECT
– Plays back unmodified
sound from source with only minimal digital
treatment.

Default setting:
MEMORY 1
If you have calibrated your system for different
listening positions, you can switch between set-
tings to suit the kind of source you’re listening
to and where you’re sitting (for example, watch-
ing movies from a sofa, or playing a video game
close to the TV).
1 Set the remote control to the receiver
operation mode.
2 While listening to a source, press
MCACC.
Press repeatedly to select one of the six MCACC
presets. See
Data Management
on page 86 to
check and manage your current settings.

Choosing the input signal
On this receiver, it is possible to switch
the input signals for the different inputs as
described below.
!
This receiver can only play back Dolby Digital,
PCM (32 kHz to 192 kHz) and DTS (including
DTS 96/24) digital signal formats. The
compatible signals via the HDMI terminals
are: Dolby Digital, DTS, PCM (32 kHz to 192
kHz), Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS-
EXPRESS, DTS-HD Master Audio and SACD.
!
You may get digital noise when an LD, CD,
DVD or BD player compatible with DTS is
playing an analog signal. To prevent noise,
make the proper digital connections (page 24)
and set the signal input to
DIGITAL
.
!
Some DVD players don’t output DTS signals.
For more details, refer to the instruction
manual supplied with your DVD player.
1 Set the remote control to the receiver
operation mode.
2 Press SIGNAL SEL to select the input
signal corresponding to the source
component.
Each press cycles through the options as

.
!
ANALOG
– Selects an analog signal.
!
DIGITAL
– Selects an optical or coaxial
digital signal.
!
HDMI
– Selects an HDMI signal.

When the
HDMI
audio output parameter
is set to
THROUGH
, the sound will be
heard through your TV, not from this
receiver.
When set to
DIGITAL
,
HDMI
or
AUTO
(only
selected
DIGITAL
or
HDMI
), the indicators light
according to the signal being decoded (see
Display
on page 12).
Better sound using Phase
Control
This receiver’s Phase Control feature uses
phase correction measures to make sure your
sound source arrives at the listening position in
phase, preventing unwanted distortion and/or
coloring of the sound.
Phase Control technology provides coherent
sound reproduction through the use of phase
matching for an optimal sound image. The
default setting is on and we recommend leav-
ing Phase Control switched on for all sound
sources.
1 Set the remote control to the receiver
operation mode.
2 Press PHASE CTRL (PHASE CONTROL) to
switch on phase correction.
The
PHASE CONTROL
indicator on the front
panel lights.
Note
!
Phase matching is a very important factor
in achieving proper sound reproduction.
If two waveforms are ‘in phase’, they crest
and trough together, resulting in increased
amplitude, clarity and presence of the sound
signal. If a crest of a wave meets a trough,
then the sound will be ‘out of phase’ and an
unreliable sound image will be produced.
!
For discs created with standards other than
Phase Control, the LFE channel is delayed
upon recording in the first place. Phase
Control Plus function corrects for phase
shifting on such discs. For instructions on
setting the Phase Control Plus, see
Setting the
Audio options
!
If your subwoofer has a phase control switch,
set it to the plus (+) sign (or 0º). However,
the effect you can actually feel when
PHASE CONTROL
is set to
ON
on this receiver
depends on the type of your subwoofer. Set
your subwoofer to maximize the effect. It is
also recommended you try changing the
orientation or the place of your subwoofer.
!
Set the built-in lowpass filter switch of your
subwoofer to off. If this cannot be done on
your subwoofer, set the cutoff frequency to a
higher value.
!
If the speaker distance is not properly set, you
may not have a maximized
PHASE CONTROL
effect.
!
The
PHASE CONTROL
mode cannot be set to
ON
in the following cases:
—
When headphones are plugged in.
—
When the
PURE DIRECT
mode is switched
on.
—
When the
HDMI
audio output parameter is
set to
