About balanced connectors
This unit has both unbalanced and balanced connectors. The
balanced connectors have three pins, making it possible to transmit
audio signals as a balanced signal, reducing the effect of external
noise. They also have a removable lock mechanism, which reduces
shaking in the connector area, making the connection highly reliable.
0
The balanced connection is an all-stage balanced configuration.

Audio
Filter
This unit is equipped with a sound quality adjusting function which allows
users to enjoy the desired playback sound quality. The unit supports PCM
signal.
Filter 1
(Default):
Offers a short impulse response for both
pre-echo and post-echo. Large amount of
audio information clearly reproduces deep
stereo imaging and the relative position of
the sound source.
Filter 2:
This characteristic is known as
asymmetrical impulse response. The post
echo is slightly longer than the pre-echo.
The sound characteristics is more analog
like.
Dither
Dither is used to avoid artifacts of digital signal processing. Side effect of
dither is that Signal/Noise ratio is slightly reduced or artifacts do not
completely disappear. Set as desired.
Dither 1
(Default):
This is a Marantz developed dither that
reduces digital artifacts while reducing SNR
only very little.
Dither 2:
Classic dither that reduces all artifacts but
also reduces SNR.
Off:
Highest SNR but digital artifacts may
slightly influence soundstage or colorate
the sound.

Balanced
(Default):
This is the best compromise between
highest signal to noise ratio and most open

Natural:
This gives high SNR for natural instruments
but may reduce some resolution.
Dynamic Music:
This improves the SNR but this cost
resolution in sound stage. Highest possible
dynamics for wideband music content in
this setting.
Dynamic Voice:
Even higher SNR but only up to 5 kHz. This
gives highest possible dynamics for natural
instruments and voices.

DSD （Direct-Stream Digital）
One of the audio data recording methods, it is the signal aspect used to
store audio signals on a super audio CD, and is Δ-Σ modulated digital
audio.
FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec)
FLAC stands for Free lossless Audio Codec, and is a lossless free audio
file format. Lossless means that the audio is compressed without any loss
in quality.
The FLAC license is as shown below.

MP3 （MPEG Audio Layer-3）
This is an internationally standardized audio data compression scheme,
using the “MPEG-1” video compression standard. It compresses the data
volume to about one eleventh its original size while maintaining sound
quality equivalent to a music CD.
MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group), MPEG-2, MPEG-4
These are the names for digital compression format standards used for
the encoding of video and audio. Video standards include “MPEG-1
Video”, “MPEG-2 Video”, “MPEG-4 Visual”, “MPEG-4 AVC”. Audio
standards include “MPEG-1 Audio”, “MPEG-2 Audio”, “MPEG-4 AAC”.
WMA (Windows Media Audio)
This is audio compression technology developed by Microsoft
Corporation.
WMA data can be encoded using Windows Media
®
Player.
To encode WMA files, only use applications authorized by Microsoft
Corporation. If you use an unauthorized application, the file may not work
properly.
Sampling frequency
Sampling involves taking a reading of a sound wave (analog signal) at
regular intervals and expressing the height of the wave at each reading in
digitized format (producing a digital signal).
The number of readings taken in one second is called the “sampling
frequency”. The larger the value, the closer the reproduced sound is to the
original.
Dynamic range
The difference between the maximum undistorted sound level and the
minimum discernible level above the noise emitted by the device.
Downmix
This function converts the number of channels of surround audio to a
lower number of channels and plays back according to the system’s
configuration.
Bit rate
This is the amount of audio data recorded on a disc that is read in one
second.
Finalizing
This process enables DVD/CD recorded with a recorder to be played by
other players.
Linear PCM
This is an uncompressed PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) signal. Unlike
lossy compression audio sources such as MP3, no audio quality or
dynamic range deteriorates.
Protection circuit
This is a function to prevent damage to devices within the power supply
when an abnormality such as an overload, excess voltage occurs or over
temperature for any reason.
