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 9) is "ON".
