Using the Sound Retriever
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.

is set to this receiver (For example, if you connected this receiver to the
VIDEO
jacks on your TV, make sure that the
VIDEO
input
is selected). Turn down the volume of your TV so that all the sound is coming from the speakers connected to this receiver.

the proper digital connections (
