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.
• While listening to a source, press AUTO/
DIRECT to select Stream Direct mode.
• AUTO SURROUND – See Auto playback on
page 33.
• DIRECT – Sources are heard according to
the settings made in the Surround Setup
(speaker setting, channel level, speaker
distance), as well as with dual mono
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.

Using the Sound Retriever
When audio data is removed during the
compression process, sound quality often
suffers from an uneven sound image. The
Sound Retriever feature employs new DSP
technology that helps bring CD quality sound
back to compressed 2-channel audio by
restoring sound pressure and smoothing
jagged artifacts left over after compression.

• Press RECEIVER, then press S.RETRIEVER

Listening with Acoustic
Calibration EQ
• Default setting: ON
You can listen to sources using the Acoustic
Calibration Equalization set in Automatically
setting up for surround sound (MCACC) on
page 9. Refer to these pages for more on
Acoustic Calibration Equalization.
• While listening to a source, press
RECEIVER, then press EQ to switch the
Acoustic Calibration EQ on or off.
