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. Processing differs
depending on the input signal and whether or not
surround back speakers are connected. For details, see
Auto Surround, ALC and Stream Direct with different input
signal formats on page 138.
1 Set the remote control to the receiver operation
mode.
2 While listening to a source, press AUTO/ALC/
DIRECT (AUTO SURR/ALC/STREAM DIRECT) to select
the mode you want.
Check the digital format indicators in the front panel
display to see how the source is being processed.
• AUTO SURROUND – See Auto playback on page 59.
• ALC – Listening in Auto level control mode (page 59).
• DIRECT – Plays back sound from the source with the
least modification next to PURE DIRECT. With
DIRECT, the only modifications added to PURE
DIRECT playback are calibration of the sound field by
the MCACC system and the Phase Control effect.
• PURE DIRECT – Plays back unmodified sound from
source with only minimal digital treatment. No sound
is output from the Speaker B in this mode.
• OPTIMUM SURR (SC-37 only) – Listening in
Optimum Surround mode (page 59).
Selecting MCACC presets
• Default setting: MEMORY 1
If you have calibrated your system for different listening
positions, you can switch between settings to suit the
kind of source you’re listening to and where you’re sitting
(for example, watching movies from a sofa, or playing a
video game close to the TV).
1 Set the remote control to the receiver operation
mode.
2 While listening to a source, press MCACC.
Press repeatedly to select one of the six MCACC presets

When set to DIGITAL, HDMI or AUTO (only selected
DIGITAL or HDMI), the indicators light according to the

Better sound using Phase Control
This receiver’s Phase Control feature uses phase
correction measures to make sure your sound source
arrives at the listening position in phase, preventing
unwanted distortion and/or coloring of the sound.
Note
1 • These settings have no effect when headphones are connected.
• You can also press / to select the MCACC preset.
2 • This receiver can only play back Dolby Digital, PCM (32 kHz to 192 kHz), DTS (including DTS 96/24) and WMA9 Pro digital signal formats.
The compatible signals via the HDMI terminals are: Dolby Digital, DTS, WMA9 Pro, PCM (32 kHz to 192 kHz), Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus,
DTS-EXPRESS, DTS-HD Master Audio and SACD.
• You may get digital noise when an LD, CD, DVD or BD player compatible with DTS is playing an analog signal. To prevent noise, make the
proper digital connections (page 34) and set the signal input to DIGITAL.
• Some DVD players don’t output DTS signals. For more details, refer to the instruction manual supplied with your DVD player.
3 When the HDMI audio output parameter is set to THROUGH, the sound will be heard through your TV, not from this receiver.
4 • This is useful if you find there is a slight delay before AUTO recognizes the PCM signal on a CD, for instance.
• When PCM is selected, noise may be output during playback of non-PCM sources. Please select another input signal if this is a problem.
