About Listening Modes
The default setting is for the EXT.STEREO mode to
be selected which plays a stereo image from the front
and rear, irrespective of the input audio format.
a
ALC/STANDARD button (a)
You can select the Dolby Digital and DTS listening
modes. When the input signal is multi-channel, the
listening mode switches to Dolby Digital or DTS-HD
MasterAudio, for example, to suit the input audio
format. When the input signal is 2-channel, you can
select the DOLBY PRO LOGIC, DOLBY PLII MOVIE/
MUSIC/GAME and NEO:6 CINEMA/MUSIC listening
modes which expand playback to 5.1 channels.
Select STEREO ALC to play at a balanced level even
when there are differences in sound level between
tracks, for example.
AUTO/DIRECT button (b)
You can select listening modes such as AUTO
SURROUND, DIRECT, and PURE DIRECT that play
the sound field according to the number of channels
in the input signal. The DIRECT mode bypasses
circuits that can affect sound quality, such as the tone
e
control circuits, so you can enjoy even better sound
quality. The PURE DIRECT mode allows you to shut
down additional circuits and processing that affect
sound quality.
STEREO button (c)
You can select the STEREO mode to playback only
from the front speakers and subwoofer.
ADV SURR button (d)
You can select original surround modes such as the
EXT.STEREO and DRAMA modes.
