MAKING YOUR FAVORITE
AUDIO SETTINGS

The settings can be made using the remote control (RC-
11SAS1). The settings are retained even if the power is turned
off so that you can always enjoy tracks with your favorite
characteristics.
To change the settings again, make the changes using the
same procedure. The settings can be changed when the track
is stopped.

7 Playing the CD layer of an audio

CD or Super Audio CD

q Noise shaper operation

In this unit, you can select noise shaper on or off for play-
ing tracks.
The noise shaper is turned on and off by pressing the

NOISE SHAPER

button while the track is stopped. When

turned on, the NSHP indicator lights up on the LCD.
* Noise shaping is a type of digital feedback used in the

algorithms for oversampling. This digital feedback enables
improved linearity for low levels (-70 to -90 dB) and bet-
ter noise characteristics in the audible band. However,
this digital feedback is still feedback nonetheless. Gen-
erally, in amplifiers and other equipment, the sound qual-
ity changes based on the amount of feedback. Low feed-
back is said to result in poor audio characteristics but
good sound.
Although no measurement differences are shown in the
SA-11S1, the sound quality is changed. Therefore, make
the setting according to your preferences.

w DC filter operation

The DC filter is turned on and off by pressing the

DC FILTER

button while the track is stopped. When turned

on, the DCF indicator lights up on the LCD.

* The DC filter is effective when the speakers vibrate ab-

normally for discs with recorded audio having extremely
low noise characteristics. (The cutoff frequency is set to
1.7Hz.)

e Digital output off operation

The digital output function is turned on and off by pressing
the

DIGITAL OUT

button while the track is stopped. When

digital output is turned off, the D OFF indicator lights up on
the LCD.

* When digital output is not used, setting to digital output

off enables you to enjoy better sound quality.

Note
* The noise shaper, DC filter, and digital output off have a

memory retention function where the settings remain stored
and unchanged even when the disc is changed or the power
is turned off.
