Selectable Listening Modes

You can select a variety of listening modes to suit the audio

format of the signal being input.

•

The Stereo mode can be selected with any audio

format.

•

When analog signals or DSD 2 ch signals are being

input in the Pure Direct mode, the modes switches to

the Analog Direct mode or DSD Direct mode which

passes signals directly to the amplifier without passing

through the DSP (Digital Signal Processor). However,

when you are using Speaker B, the listening mode

suited to the input signal is selected automatically.

•

Listening modes available when headphones are

connected are Pure Direct and Stereo only. Only Stereo

can be selected when the input signal is DSD.
