STEREO This mode plays 2-channel stereo audio with no additional surround sound processing.
• Sound is output from the front left and right speakers, and subwoofer if connected.

additional surround sound processing.
Direct sound mode
Sound mode type Description
DIRECT This mode provides a direct input-to-output path with minimal audio processing, bypassing any unnecessary stages for
purest sound.
PURE DIRECT This mode provides the direct audio signal path benefit of the Direct mode along with disabling additional stages that
might possibly have an affect on sound quality.
In Pure Direct mode, the following elements are turned off:
• The front panel display and its driver circuitry are shut down. The display will temporarily come on when adjusting the
volume, etc., but will turn off again once the adjustment has been made.
• The analog video input/output switcher and processor is disabled.
