Selecting Listening Modes

This unit has a variety of listening modes. You can change
the listening mode during play by pressing repeatedly
"AUTO/DIRECT", "SURR", or "STEREO".
AUTO/DIRECT button (a)
Press repeatedly and the listening modes suited to the
input signal are switched between "Auto Surround",
"Direct", and "Pure Direct". After selecting one of them,
"Auto Surround" (or "Direct" or "Pure Direct") is displayed,
then the most suitable listening mode for the audio format is
selected automatically (Dolby Digital for multi-channel input
signals, Stereo for 2 channel input signals, etc.) and an
indicator such as "Dolby D" is displayed on the display.
The display changes
automatically.
The "Direct" mode shuts down some processing that can
affect sound quality, such as the tone control features, so
you can enjoy even better sound quality. The "Pure Direct"
mode shuts down even more processes that affects sound
quality, so you get a more faithful reproduction of the
original sound. In this case, the speaker calibration made
with MCACC is invalid.

By pressing repeatedly you can select the audio format of
the signals being input and switch between a variety of
listening modes. Select the mode that suits your
preference. The selected listening mode is displayed on the
display.
STEREO button (d)
You can select the "Stereo" mode to playback only from the
front speakers and subwoofer.
0 For details on the effects of each of the listening modes
see "Listening Mode Effects" (P36). For listening modes
selectable for each of the audio formats in the input
signals, refer to "Selectable listening modes" (P38).
0 The listening mode last selected for the source is

STEREO buttons. If content you play is not supported by
the listening mode you selected last, the listening mode
that is standard for that content is selected automatically.
