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.
 Press S.RTRV to switch the SOUND RTRV (Sound
Retriever) ON or OFF.
Note
• The Sound Retriever is only applicable to 2-channel
sources.
Setting the Up Mix function
In a 7.1-channel surround system with surround speakers
placed directly at the sides of the listening position, the
surround sound of 5.1-channel sources is heard from the
side. The Up Mix function mixes the sound of the surround
speakers with the surround back speakers so that the
surround sound is heard from diagonally to the rear as it
should be.
• Using the Up Mix function is effective when the speakers
in the 7.1-channel surround system are set up as
recommended in the example on page 9.
• Depending on the positions of the speakers and the
sound source, in some cases it may not be possible to
achieve good results. In this case, set the setting to
OFF.
1 Switch the receiver into standby.
2 Press and hold INPUT SELECTOR button on the front
panel for more than five seconds, and then press TUNER
button on the remote control.
UPMIX OFF appears and the Up Mix function turns off. If you
want to turn this function on, perform steps 1 and 2 again.
Note
• Set to ON regardless of this setting when playing DTS-HD
signals.
• May automatically be set to OFF even when set to ON,
depending on the input signal and listening mode.
