 About Automatic volume correction

Different sound sources, fairly often do not have the same volume level, for example the changing from movie to the advertisements.The Automatic Volume Correction (AVC) solves this problem and equalizes the volume levels.

 About Spatial expander

The kind of Spatial expander effect depends on the source mode. If the incoming signal is in mono mode, Pseudo Stereo Effect is active;for stereo signals, Stereo Basewidth Enlargement is effective. The Pseudo stereo effect cannot restore any room or panning information from a mono signal. It does, however produce two uncorrelated output signals which can give a dramatic improvement to mono signals without sounding like a musical effect rather than true stereo.

 Spatial strength

When the AUDIO MODE is in Spatial expander effect, you can reduce or enlarge the stereo image by Spatial strength control.
