About ODD (Offset Dual Differential) D/A

System

The high quality sound play is to be done by ODD

D/A System. Dual D/A converters are built-in the

ODD D/A System, and the digital processing is

isolated and controlled separately for front channel

so the channel separation is improved sharply.

Also, the ODD D/A System produces the data by

which the sound data is offset on the minus side

and converts the two signals (original and offset

data) to the analog signal, which has less noise and

distortion, by the synthetic process.

However, ODD D/A System will be disabled if the

following settings are selected.

- When "2 ZONE" of <Audio Setup> (page 12)is

"ON".

- When <Bypass Control> (page 16) is "Bypass".
