While listening to a source, press
STEREO/DIRECT (STEREO on the remote
control) for stereo playback.
Press repeatedly to switch between:
•
STEREO
– The audio is heard with your
surround settings and you can still use the
Midnight, Loudness, and Tone control
functions.
•
DIRECT
– Bypass all effects and surround
settings so that the audio remains as close to
the source audio signal as possible.
If you switch on Midnight listening, Loud-
ness, or the Tone controls when
DIRECT
is
selected, the receiver automatically switches
to
STEREO
.
Using the Virtual Surround
Back mode (VSB)
Selecting this mode allows you to hear a virtual
back channel through your surround speakers.
For example, you can choose to listen to
sources with no surround back channel
information (for example, 5.1 encoded material)
with emulated 6.1 encoding (
VSB ON
).
Sometimes the material may sound better in
the 5.1 format for which it was originally
encoded. In this case you can simply switch it
off (
VSB OFF
).
