Audio Features:

• Auto Level Control - Auto Level Control compensates for volume fluctuations between songs or sources, ensuring that what you hear is played back at a constant volume.

• Digital Noise Reduction - New noise reduction technology keeps sound pristine as it comes from each source. Digital filtering analyses signal output from each separate frequency band, then attenuates noise in each band to an optimal level. In this way, only signal band noise that detracts from overall sound is suppressed, without degrading any dynamic characteristics of the original sound.
• Front Stage Surround Advance - By simply placing your speakers directly beside your TV screen and activating the unique Front Stage Surround Advance feature, you can experience a virtual surround sound environment
• Loudness - this mode boosts the bass and treble in a signal. It is useful for listening to music at low volumes
• Midnight Listening Mode - If others are sleeping or studying, trying to enjoy a program quietly shouldn't compromise such sound qualities as surround effects or dialogue clarity
• Phase Control - feature corrects the phase distortion as well as group delay for LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) audio signals during multi-channel playback
• Pioneer Hybrid Amplification - is a unique structure to reduce the distortion caused by the dynamic change of heat in the system.
• PQLS (2 Channel) - A precision quartz controller eliminates distortion caused by timing errors (jitter), giving you the best possible digital-to-analogue conversion from audio CD sources when you use the HDMI interface. This is valid as an HDMI function for PQLS-compatible players.
• Multizone Function - The Multi-zone function allows AV equipment to actually control either the same, or a separate source than the one being listened to in the main room, to another location. For example, you can be watching a DVD movie with surround sound in the main room, while someone else can listen to a CD player in another, at the same time.
• Advanced Sound Retreiver - function enhances compressed music formats, such as MP3, WMA or AAC and restores the music dynamics and harmonics to CD-sound quality
• Sound Retreiver AIR - When audio is streamed using Bluetooth, sound quality is lost during transmission. Our Sound Retriever AIR brings back the original audio quality.
• Standing Wave Contrlol - Standing Waves are an unwanted phenomenon that occur in most rooms. These acoustic waves create peaks in the low frequencies, resulting in a booming sound. Our Standing Wave Control neutralises this effect, by causing a flatter frequency response, while respecting the phase differences between each channel. Since more filters are utilised in the lower bandwidths, up to 3 standing waves can be more precisely identified and reduced. The result is a far better reproduction of lower frequencies.
• Virtual Surround Back - The Virtual Surround Back feature enables you to experience 6.1 or 7.1 surround sound with a 5.1 speaker set-up. Once activated, the left and right rear satellite speakers will create a phantom sound source behind you. It will sound as if there are actual speakers behind you.

X-Curve - The X-Curve setting adjusts the tonal balance of your speaker system for film soundtracks. Most soundtracks mixed for cinema sound too shrill or harsh when played back in your living room. The X-Curve setting acts as a re-equalization for home theatre listening, restoring proper tonal balance of movie soundtracks.

Symmetric EQ - The Symmetric EQ (Equaliser) is a left and right symmetrical acoustic equaliser which delivers enhanced stereo accuracy. The default Symmetry setting implements symmetric correction for each pair of speakers to flatten the frequency-amplitude characteristics.

Stream Direct - Use the Stream Direct mode when you want to hear the truest possible reproduction of a source. All unnecessary signal processing is bypassed, and you’re left with a pure analogue or digital sound source.

Monitor Delay - Some monitors have a slight delay when showing video, so the soundtrack will be slightly out of sync with the picture. By adding a bit of delay, you can adjust the sound to match the presentation of the video.
