Setting items and their options

Upconversion setting

Display: UPCONV>***
o This setting can be made for each input.
o During Super Audio CD playback, the DSD signal is sent directly to
the D/A converter.
ORG (original)
The original input signal is sent directly to the D/A converter without
upconversion.
2Fs
32kHz, 44.1kHz and 48kHz sources are upconverted to double values
of 64 kHz, 88.2 kHz and 96 kHz, respectively, and then sent to the D/A
converter.
4Fs
32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz and 96kHz sources are upconverted
to double or quadruple values of 128 kHz, 176.4 kHz or 192 kHz and
then sent to the D/A converter.
8Fs
32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, 96kHz, 176.4kHz and 192kHz sources
are upconverted to double, quadruple or octuple values of 256 kHz,
352.8 kHz or 384kHz and then sent to the D/A converter.
DSD
The signal is converted to DSD digital format, and then sent to the
D/A converter.
Note about the digital filter during PCM playback
FIR-type digital filters
This type of filter has an established reputation for sound quality
and features tonal quality with both dense, rich sound reverbera-
tions and crisp sound transients.
SDLY-type digital filters
This type of filter has no pre-echo in the impulse response and fea-
tures natural sound attack and reverberation for a tonal quality that
is close to the original.
Digital filter setting during PCM playback
Display: PCMF>***
o This setting can be made for each input.
o During Super Audio CD playback, this is automatically set to the
dedicated DSD filter.
OFF
No digital filter is used during PCM playback.
o Using this setting, high-frequency harmonic components will be
output. If noise occurs because of cross modulation from high
frequency harmonic components, for example, set "PCMF" to "FIR"
or "SDLY" instead.
FIR1
An FIR filter with a steep roll-off is used to sharply cut signals outside
the audio band.
FIR2
An FIR filter with a slow roll-off is used to gently cut signals outside
the audio band.
SDLY1
A short delay filter with a steep roll-off is used to sharply cut signals
outside the audio band.
SDLY2
A short delay filter with a slow roll-off is used to gently cut signals
outside the audio band.
