Bass Management: The channels set to SMALL are filtered with a 90Hz high-pass crossover. The bass from the SMALL channels is directed to the front speakers (left and right) and/or the subwoofer preamp output according to the "Bass Out" setting. The available settings for each channel are as follows:

• Center Speaker Settings: LARGE, SMALL, and NONE
• Main (front) Speaker Settings: LARGE and SMALL
• Rear Speaker Settings: LARGE, SMALL, and NONE
• Bass Out: You may select SWFR (subwoofer), MAIN or BOTH 
• D.D. LFE: You can adjust the output level of the LFE channel from -20 to 0 dB in 1 dB steps 
• DTS LFE: You can adjust the output level of the LFE channel from -10 to +10 dB in 1 dB steps 

Main Level Control:  The level of the center, left and right surround, and subwoofer channels can be set to match the level of the front left and right speakers. The level of the front speakers may be set to Normal or -10dB with the "Main Level" function; the -10dB setting should be chosen if the sound output from the main speakers is too loud.

Test Tone: A test tone feature is available to help with the process of matching the output level of the center, left and right surround, and subwoofer channels to the front left and right channel level.

Virtual Cinema DSP: When the rear speaker setting is set to "none", the sound field processing is altered to provide a surround sound experience without having any rear speakers.

Silent Cinema DSP: The Silent Cinema DSP feature creates a realistic surround movie effect using standard, two-channel headphones (headphones not included).

Headphone Tone Control: The bass and treble level for the headphone output can be set from -6dB to +3dB.

96kHz/24-bit Audio D/A Conversion: This unit will accept and play 96kHz/24-bit linear PCM digital audio.

Memory Guard: This feature prevents accidental changes to the DSP program parameter settings, the set menu settings, the level settings and the on-screen display mode setting. The Memory Guard feature may be turned on or off.

1 Week Memory Back-up: This unit will retain the tuner presets and menu settings for up to 1 week without being connected to power.

Background Video (BGV) Function: The BGV function allows you to combine a video image from a video source with the audio from an audio source.

Automatic Preset Tuning: This feature will put up to 40 FM stations into preset memory automatically.

Preset Groups: Preset stations are stored in "pages" (A, B, C, D, E) of 8 stations each, making it possible to group presets, and easier to find a specific preset. There is an edit key which allows you to exchange the places of any 2 preset stations with each other.

Sleep Timer:  This unit is equipped with a sleep timer that will automatically turn the unit off after 30, 60, 90, or 120 minutes.
