Listening in stereo
When you select
STEREO
, you will hear the source
through just the front left and right speakers (and
possibly your subwoofer depending on your speaker
settings). Dolby Digital and DTS multichannel sources
are downmixed to stereo.
•
While listening to a source, press
STEREO
for stereo
playback.
Using Stream Direct
Use the Stream Direct modes when you want to hear the
truest possible reproduction of a source. All unnecessary
signal processing is bypassed, and you’re left with the
pure analog or digital sound source (see
Stream direct
with different input signal formats
on page 84).

While listening to a source, press S.DIRECT
(
AUTO SURR
/

you want.
Check the digital format indicators in the front panel
display to see how the source is being processed.

– See
Auto playback
on page 26.
•
DIRECT
– Sources are heard according to the
settings made in the Surround Setup (speaker
setting, channel level, speaker distance, acoustic
calibration EQ, and X-curve), as well as with dual
mono, the input attenuator, and any sound delay and
hi-bit/hi-sampling settings. You will hear sources
according to the number of channels in the signal.
•
PURE DIRECT
– Analog and PCM sources are heard
without any digital processing.

No sound is output
from the Second Zone in this mode.
