Switching the amount of dither
“Dither” is one of the technologies developed to
reduce quantization distortion or quantization noise.
Even in the play system like a CD player, the D/A
conversion difference is generated theoretically.
Therefore, quantization distortion or noise can
be reduced purposely by adding a random noise
component called “Dither” to digital data before
D/A conversion.
Press the [DIRECT] button 3 while holding the
[DISP] button.
Each time the [DIRECT] button 3 is pressed while
holding the [DISP] button, the indication shown
in the display changes as follows:
DITHER1….Dither off
↓
DITHER2….small amount of dither
↓
DITHER3….large amount of dither
↓
DITHER1….
