En
correction minimizes the group delay of the middle- and
low-frequency ranges against the high-frequency range
and improves the frequency-phase characteristics
across all ranges. Furthermore, the enhanced frequency-
phase characteristics between channels ensure better
surround sound integration.
• Sound Retriever
The Sound Retriever feature employs DSP technology to
restore sound pressure and smooth jagged artifacts left
over after compression. This helps bring CD quality
sound back to WMA and MP3 audio files and achieves a
richer sense of presence when playing Dolby Digital, DTS
or WMA 9 Pro audio formats recorded in multiple
channels on DVDs and other discs.

• Front Stage Surround Advance
With the Front Stage Surround Advance feature, you can
enjoy seamless, natural surround sound effects using
only the front speakers, without deteriorating the quality
of the original sound.
• Auto Level Control
When the source is played in Auto level control mode
(ALC), this receiver automatically equalizes the playback
sound level according to the variation in recording levels.
• Optimum Surround
All movie creators do their best to express movie’s story
and use sounds 50 % to achieve it. They assume that the
finally mixed sounds should be best sound balance at
movie theaters that can perform a big sound. However, in
many cases, such a big sound is actually too much for
customer’s Home Theater environment, smaller volume
is normally used.
In such case, there is possibility that the sound balance
is changed/depressed compared to movie theaters. The
volume is smaller, the possibility is higher. In short,
smaller volume can NOT tell us stories properly as the
same as creator’s intention. “Optimum Surround” is a
new Pioneer’s surround sound technology that has been
newly developed to solve this problem.
Throughout this development, Pioneer has been
struggling to consider how we should provide creator’s
intention properly with home theater’s sound. And
Pioneer has found an answer = “Optimum Surround” led
by two activities as follows. One of them is to know
creator’s thought and feelings to communicate with
actual creators, and another is to invent some new sound
tuning technologies based on Pioneer’s historical
technologies.
