Using the Listening Modes
—Continued
The following table shows which listening modes can be used with each input signal format.
The AV receiver’s listening modes can transform your listening room into a movie theater or concert hall, with high
fidelity and stunning surround sound.
Pure Audio
In this mode, the display and video circuitry are turned
off, minimizing possible noise sources for the ultimate in
high-fidelity reproduction. (As the video circuitry is
turned off, no video signals are output in this mode.)
Direct
The selected input source is output directly with minimal
processing for a pure sound.
Stereo
The selected input source is processed as a stereo signal
and output by the front left and right speakers and the
subwoofer.
