Using the Advanced surround
The Advanced surround feature creates a variety of surround effects. Try different modes with various soundtracks to see which you like.
Note
During ECO mode, the brightness switches between 2 levels. If the dimmest level is selected, DIMMER will be shown on the display. (Mode other than ECO: 4 levels, ECO mode: 2 levels)• ECO MODE will switch OFF automatically when switched to other listening modes (Advanced surround mode and Auto surround mode).
Using Stream Direct
Use the Stream Direct modes when you want to hear the truest possible reproduction of a source. All unnecessary signal processing is bypassed.

Using the Sound Retriever

The Sound Retriever is only applicable to 2-channel sources.

When is my volume too loud?

A volume above 80 decibels can be harmful to hearing. When the volume exceeds 120 decibels, direct damage can even occur. The chance of hearing damage depends on the listening frequency and duration.

Can bluetooth devices of different brands be connected to each other?

Yes, bluetooth is a universal method that allows different devices equipped with bluetooth to connect to each other.

What is bluetooth?

What is HDMI?

HDMI stands for High-Definition Multimedia Interface. An HDMI cable is used to transport audio and video signals between devices.

How can I best clean my receiver?

A slightly damp cleaning cloth or soft, dust-free cloth works best to remove fingerprints. Dust in hard-to-reach places is best removed with compressed air.

Wat is Dolby Atmos?

Dolby Atmos is a technology that ensures that the sound is reflected from the ceiling to where you are listening. This makes it possible to create a 5.1 effect with only 1 speaker.

My remote control is not working with the receiver. What should I do?

First, make sure the batteries in the remote control are fresh and properly inserted. If that doesn't solve the issue, try pointing the remote directly at the receiver's sensor and ensure that there are no obstructions between them. Additionally, check the receiver's settings to ensure that the remote control function is enabled.

How do I calibrate the speakers for optimal audio performance?
