Restorer

Compressed audio formats such as MP3, WMA (Windows Media Audio)

and MPEG-4 AAC reduce the amount of data by eliminating signal

components that are hard for the human ear to hear. The “Restorer”

function generates the signals eliminated upon compression, restoring the

sound to conditions near those of the original sound before compression.

It also restores the original bass characteristics for a rich and expanded

tonal range.

oMode

High:

Optimized mode for compressed sources

with very weak highs (64 kbps and

under).

Medium:

Apply suitable bass and treble boost for

all compressed sources (96 kbps and

under).

Low: Optimized mode for compressed sources

with normal highs (96 kbps and over).

Off: Do not use “Restorer”.

0This item can be set with analog signals or PCM signal (Sample Rate =
